PhysicsHigh | Why can mass be measure in electron volts? @PhysicsHigh | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 23 hours ago
In high energy physics and particle physics, mass is often quoted in terms of electron volts (eV). This video discusses why this is the case and how it is related to the kilogram. I also discuss why particle physicists, such as at CERN do so.
Speech fluff: speed of light is 299792458 m/s not 2.99792458 m/s. Sorry. Thanks Bob Gerhis for picking up my error.
