As a Tales From the Loop TTRPG enjoyer, this rocks
The next step… a human collider
A large hard-on collider!
Yes I know someone already made that joke:)
Hey, I think I’ve seen that porno before!
At least the first part, anyway. I never finished it…
I hit it hard… how hard? I smashed it
Cars?
you mean the ufc?
This meme got Sabine hossenfelder bricked up
How about one that goes around the circumference of the Earth? That would be boss.
Just go full Dyson Ring and have one in space around the sun, can even use all the surface area to power it with solar panels.
That sounds expensive.
Yeah, but you could build two for twice the price!
It’ll pay for itself with the electricity bill savings!
So dollar for dollar, are all those colliders worth their value over say extra tenure position for scientists?
Perhaps, but we’d benefit more as a collective knowing the secrets of the cosmos.
The colliders wouldn’t exist without people in the tenured position. Tenure is protection from capital interests. It’s not just a culture war thing.
I’m asking if the capital interest skew public research towards mega projects.
Yea, that is a problem just by the fact that it creates more pots of funding.
Only if someone sticks their head in this one too
The transmutation circle is massive this time. We can’t fail the French-Swiss genocide.
(Btw I’ve worked on the Atlas project on the LHC, projects are always delayed)
Any actual creepy stories about the LHC?
something very creep happened to me recently and idk what to make of it
what do you mean?
Aliens of course
Steins gate?
I am waiting for the day when the biggest collider first run is going to explode this planet and then earth is going to become itself a particle.
Why does future circular collider, the largest collider, not eat all the other colliders?
If I remember the smaller colliders are used to feed the LHC. Probably the same with a future collide.
I’d rather spend 22 billion on this than in Israel or more weapons of war
…or another feeble scheme like the 5000th pitch for a “hyper loop”
Hyperloop was known high schooler nonsense from the start, at least this will get something back, whatever it is.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Then I saw I already liked it. 15 years sounds short but it’s actually a decent amount of time.
STOP BUILDING PARTICLE ACCELERATORS. Hadrons were not meant to be collided! Years of research and no use found for particles any smaller than SAND!
They’ve played us for absolute fools.
You sound like a man who hates sand.
That sounds like something big sand would say.
BIG SAND WILL NOT STOP ME FROM EATING IT. Take this corpo fucks!
But look how fast we can make those little fuckers go!
It’s just like slot car racing, round and round, but… you know… faster. And yeah, it’s more expensive than a regular slot car track, I guess. But still, those particles will beat any slot car you care to pick! So there’s that. Welllll not those fancy slot cars with them high performance motors, I mean, that’s a completely different ballgame there, we can’t compete with that.
But still, those particles whizzing around, it’s gonna be pretty cool. I reckon we should do it.
So anyway, thank you for reading my financial proposal for the SuperLHC.
This fucks, way better use of 22 billion dollars than usual
But we could kill kids in the middle east somewhere for that money!
Just toss the middle east kids in the super collider.
But that will puts dents in the super collider. Then we will need another super collider.
I see no downsides. MORE COLLIDERS.
Physics class: “Imagine a perfectly spherical cow moving on a frictionless surface…”
IDF physics class: “Imagine a perfectly spherical bomb moving towards a frictionless Palestinian hospital…”
Remember when people were worried about these killing us all by creating a black hole that swallows the Earth?
Can this one just hurry up and do that please?
yeah but no
but yeah
Sorry bro, we spent the 22 billion on the genocide budget.
Even more
