Indeed and with what I’ve seen with tofu-dreg projects in china I doubt that it would last.
Comment on China could start building world’s biggest particle collider in 2027

Never understand the hype around building another larger particle collider. It’s basically a huge money pits that produces limited results.

I think (and I’m by far no particle physicists) that generally the larger the collider, the better the results can be. Also allows for more energetic collisions with potential discovery of new particles.

Particle physicists had their chance on trying prove the existence of any new particles with CERN and their newest project but ultimately they failed to discover any. First, it’s too costly. Second, their theory on bridging the major two theories (relativity and quantum physics) with the assumably new particles is simply too complicated that involves a lot of constants compared to other theory models. There are better way to advance the progress of academic physics, but building a new collider would not help.

Pretty sure you’re wrong there

Am I missing something perhaps? I actually remember the Higgs boson discovery in the news, and wiki says they discovered a bunch of new particles.
