Sorry bro, we spent the 22 billion on the genocide budget.

mexicancartel,

Even more

STOP ACCELERATING PARTICLES! Years of research and no use found for particles any smaller than SAND!

mtrx,

They’ve played us for absolute fools.

dgriffith,

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.

lingh0e,

You sound like a man who hates sand.

Malfeasant,

It’s coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere…

That sounds like something big sand would say.

derpgon,

BIG SAND WILL NOT STOP ME FROM EATING IT. Take this corpo fucks!

phoenixz,

I’d rather spend 22 billion on this than in Israel or more weapons of war

We have wasted way more money on way stupider projects. Would love to see this built rather than the military getting even more money.

MonkeMischief,

…or another feeble scheme like the 5000th pitch for a “hyper loop”

phoenixz,

Hyperloop was known high schooler nonsense from the start, at least this will get something back, whatever it is.

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.

Chadus_Maximus,

Why does future circular collider, the largest collider, not eat all the other colliders?

Foofighter,

If I remember the smaller colliders are used to feed the LHC. Probably the same with a future collide.

sooper_dooper_roofer,

Any actual creepy stories about the LHC?

something very creep happened to me recently and idk what to make of it

talivision,

what do you mean?

Aliens of course

SchizoDenji,

Steins gate?

Only if someone sticks their head in this one too

ElHexo,

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,
@shath@hexbear.net avatar

ok make it bigger then

ElHexo,

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

shath,
@shath@hexbear.net avatar

better get started then

Resistentialism,

You’ve never seen my arsehole after a night with a goth girl.

Why am I like this

Sylvartas,

NA copium. Where’s

ToeNailClippings, (edited )

They’re doing it all wrong. They need to build it in space.

Guys I was taking the piss.

oxideseven,

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.

Enkrod,

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.

ToeNailClippings,

I didnt underestimate anything. I was taking the mick

Having said that, the ISS didnt go up in one part, did it. Though there might be problems with cosmic rays and co interfering with the accuracy, etc.

improbably_me,

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

Gorillatactics,

So dollar for dollar, are all those colliders worth their value over say extra tenure position for scientists?

crackajack,

Perhaps, but we’d benefit more as a collective knowing the secrets of the cosmos.

fossilesque,
@fossilesque@mander.xyz avatar

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.

Gorillatactics,

I’m asking if the capital interest skew public research towards mega projects.

fossilesque,
@fossilesque@mander.xyz avatar

Yea, that is a problem just by the fact that it creates more pots of funding.

Starkstruck,

I’d rather spend money on science than killing innocent people.

Gazumi,

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