They’ll be gone in another 15 million to 400 million years.

Fr no solid theoretical basis, just trust me bro

The two first are the same?

Ops, I meant the Proton Syncrotron.

Decades of colliding hardons and what do we have to show for it
reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
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!

Tbf, there are quite a few big experiments that have been done and will be done with the LHC, not just the Higgs boson search.
Omegamint@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
The hardons haven’t been colliding fast enough. Sorry boys, I don’t make the rules
Adkml@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
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.
CommunistBear@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
I think they were making a hardon joke more than questioning scientific research
Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
it was about the hardons we collided along the way

Orbital collider when?
liam070@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Maybe that’s the real Kardashev scale…
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’ll still be called the Future Circular Collider when it’s shut down after forty years of service. You gotta commit to a scale in the proposal, like the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope.

Just one more collider bro I swear just this one and we’ll fix the standard model bro just one more I swear

Is we even sure Geneva hasn’t already been overrun by the Combine?

No, that would be Bulgaria

Larger Hadron Collider
BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
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 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?
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
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.
uis@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
I like how it went from second to third picture. Borders? Who needs borders?
pudcollar@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
What’s the new one for?

More particles. MOOOOOREEEE!

For smashing things

[So I says, “Super collider? I just met her.”.
Then they built the super collider. ](youtu.be/BFE0RcnAt74)
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The last time? aaaahahahaa… no. There are several phenomenon that require energy levels that only stellar objects can throw off. They’ll be asking for bigger colliders even when they’re dedicated space stations firing what would be equivalent to weapons of mass destruction at each other.
Unless scientists can figure everything out just by observing space, there will always be a demand for a bigger collider. Since scientists like to control variables and don’t like waiting for random events that they then almost have to reverse-engineer to explain (without most all of the sensitive detectors built in to these colliders), there will always be a demand.

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m inclined to let them. I wanna see that,
nintendiator@feddit.cl 1 week ago
Honest question: why is a larger collider even needed? Just make the particles run more loops around your track.
CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why does a larger loop mean better results?
Etterra@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Just wait until the day somebody makes one that’s a full 1 AU in radius.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Of course they need a bigger one. They haven’t spontaneously created a world-ending black hole yet.
(Actually? They should build one looping around the meridians. Maybe build a turret at each pole. You know. In case aliens show up.
marcos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unironically, getting to watch short-lived black holes explode could be really, really useful.
But no, the larger one on the picture isn’t anything near big enough for that.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Didn’t stop some festmongering from the last one that went operational.

I can probably look this up but how does size effect the result in these things?

10 years? Hahahahahaha, sure

Just get it over with and start building an equatorial particle collider already.
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Unironical support
Peter_Arbeitslos@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Can we get a collider between moon an earth? I know, a lot of particles out there, but if we isolate it?
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Put one of them magnet floating trains on top please.
The equator express.
RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago

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

Orbital particle collider or bust
pelya@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s what the asteroid belt is for!
KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Just put it in orbit! Let’s commit and put a ring on this planet!
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Skip that. Put it in orbit and make it double as a solar collector array and beam the extra energy back down.
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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
