The UK loses billions per year since Brexit. We could instead ave used that money for this and still have been better off

They’re doing it all wrong. They need to build it in space.
oxideseven@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
This is exactly what I was thinking. Can make it as big as you want and no need to dig out the earth. Just a few “acceleration rings” and then the detector. I guess if it were feasible right now we’d be doing that though.

Everyone underestimates how HEAVY the collider is, how often sensor modules need to be changed and mainly that the ring is just one part of the entire group of big buildings you need for this.
You need to create different beams of different makeup from different sources, different loops to make the beam hit sonething and maybe return the products into the loop, you need extensive sensory equipment where the collision happens and different sensors for different experiments.
It is just SOOOO much cheaper, easier and better to build it underground instead of in space.

They already exist. Just wrangle a couple of neutron stars and put them next to each other. Bada Bing Bada Boom, Bob’s your uncle

Seems like a poor allocation of resources, they’d need a much bigger loop or much better colliders to get anything really interesting out of it
shath@hexbear.net 1 year ago
ok make it bigger then

It’s pretty hard to make a 27,000km ring

Only if someone sticks their head in this one too

Any actual creepy stories about the LHC?
something very creep happened to me recently and idk what to make of it

Steins gate?

what do you mean?

Aliens of course
bmsok@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d quark off to that.

Bro how we gonna get those extra flavors

When do we admit that maybe Dark Matter just doesn’t exist?
FastAndBulbous@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We don’t because we have experimental evidence for it’s existence.
agent_flounder@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I would argue that we have evidence for which the theory of dark matter and dark energy is a fairly suitable theory.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
No we don’t
Zehzin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well then we better figure out where tf is the 80% of the matter in the universe hiding.
agent_flounder@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Easy. When scientists come up with a verifiable theory that explains observed gravitational effects in the universe that can’t be explained by general relativity, given visible matter.

I mean at this point, dark matter just seems like reaching at this point. Might as well be a neurologist searching for the human soul.
Aermis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
When you admit that night time doesn’t exist simply because you’re not there to observe it while you sleep. We know somethings there. We know there’s matter that isn’t adding up. We just don’t know what it is.
