    Can we get a collider between moon an earth? I know, a lot of particles out there, but if we isolate it?

      We currently can’t block enough radiation to make space travel safe for humans in long term situations unless we are blessed with the calmest of space weather based on some recent news about the long term effects on the kidneys in the conditions of space travel (source, I believe the research still needs to be corroborated phys.org/…/2024-06-astronauts-kidneys-survive-rou… )

      We’re still not at the Star Trek radiation screen level, unfortunately. So I’m not confident we can isolate this well enough. Earths magnetic field and atmosphere do a lot of work for us we still cannot replicate their function well enough to make it safe for humans long term. And this is a project that was put underground because it was more sensitive than humans.

        I think we could easily shield this, it would just be stupendously expensive to bring all that lead up there

    Put one of them magnet floating trains on top please.

    The equator express.

      How about refular trains?

    Free power as well. I see no downside to this.

      Accidentally accelerates the whole mass of the sun in a fragile ring of superheated plasma at ridiculous speeds.

  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.

  Orbital particle collider or bust

    That’s what the asteroid belt is for!

  Just put it in orbit! Let’s commit and put a ring on this planet!

  Skip that. Put it in orbit and make it double as a solar collector array and beam the extra energy back down.

  Honest question could this be feasible with a few dozen satellites positioned above the Van Allen Belts to accelerate particles, and just letting the particles raw dog the solar wind and ride around Earth’s gravity well between each acceleration satellite? Cause that would be badass
