Just get it over with and start building an equatorial particle collider already.
A gaggle of particle physicists standing in a circle chanting "RING! WORLD! RING! WORLD!"
Surely the collective noun for a group of particle physicists has to be A Theory.
Decades of colliding hardons and what do we have to show for it
Just the Higgs boson, which is exactly what the LHC was originally built for. But other than the intended results, it’s been basically useless!
The hardons haven't been colliding fast enough. Sorry boys, I don't make the rules
Confirmation of the principles they built the thing to demonstrate.
Every time so far.
This isn't far off from some dipshit saying the place program was a waste of resources.
I think they were making a hardon joke more than questioning scientific research
I need to remind myself people here aren't as dumb (or dumber depending on how much you like the hardon joke) as you average internet user and maybe lower my defense a couple notches.
When I see massive and highly technical projects like this I wonder where they find enough skilled labor to build it. Just look at the immense complexity of this and they have to build miles and miles of it underground. I'm imagining that all of the construction workers have PhDs in physics or some shit. Or am I overestimating the demands here?
Overestimating it a little, the construction workers just need to be good. But there are indeed literally thousands of PhDs working on it for decades, from all over the world.
Honest question: why is a larger collider even needed? Just make the particles run more loops around your track.
