Gotta do it before trisolarians come for us.
Those goddam sophons keeps jacking up our shit
Probably have a ton of tunnel builders unemployed over there
Not for long!
22 billion is just a drop in the bucket to the Committee of 300 on their path to world domination.
First, you try to defend your country. Then, you want to have some advantage for a safety margin. Then, bigger advantage “just in case”. This military play is what is really addictive.
Daily reminder that the World Wide Web was invented at CERN, so somewhere around the LHC highlighted in the picture. Who knows what the next big random innovation will be.
Come on anti-photons!
Not sure if this is just playing with the fact that a photon could be considered its own antiparticle in quantum field theory or if I missed the joke. Please, enlighten me.
I’m waiting on the equatorial supercollider myself. 40,075km let’s go!
Too small, we need to go bigger.
First the equator, then orbital, then solar, then system, then GALAXY CLASS BITCHES
You need to find another planet
Why bother digging. We just need a loop of magnetic lenses in deep space.
Ringworld collider, you say?
Just after the transcontinental maglev train
Just make one big enough that you can use billionaires instead of atomic particles
Do billionaires split apart into multiple millionaires, and anti-tax neutrinos?
That’s only in the movies. In reality they just completely evaporate. Usually they just evaporate. They take up a lot of volume but aren’t terribly filling.
/s
You just aren’t cooking yours right
No its like when sonic dies and all his rings spilled out
I may be an anti billionaire
Were you created when a billionaire formed in a high energy event?
There’s only one way to find out.
or invent a board with a nail in it for that iono
I really like where this is going, keep talking
They should make it square because squares are cool
Imagine the g-forces that kind of turn would create…
Lol two 90s and they’ll turn everything right around
One square to rule them all, one square to find them,
one square had roast beef, and one square stayed at home.
And I think it’s beautiful.
I just think it’s neat
420km collider, when?
2069
4096?
2^12?
The way it’s typed out makes it sound like a Vince Russo quote lol
The microwave at the Future Gadgets Lab is about to experience one hell of an upgrade.
The really wanna blow up the earth huh
No.
If scientists had their way they’d have built the big one first. Or at least something reasonably larger than what they have… it’s politics that is capitalism and war that is the addiction preventing us from having nice things
I think the experience of building the previous smaller ones helped though. I think if you just go for the large one, it will probably fail or overrun the budget and we’ll have nothing to show for the money spent.
Ah you mean unlike the many other wisely spent tax money and private investments which turned out to be something to show for? /s
This is starting to turn into some Full Metal Alchemist shit. If you know, you know.
They say Sloth has already started on the largest tunnel in secret.
…what a drag…
Naa, more like steins gate.
I’ll be concerned when it’s the same size as the eclipse’s shadow
NGL though, how great would it be if we could get a neutrino detector big enough to image the moon with the sun as a neutrino source?
Well it was about that time i realized this user was a homunculus in a flask. Get of here homunculus, you ain’t taking my soul.
As much as I love science, and I’d much rather see billions spent on a collider than war, I gotta admit this is funny as hell.
I feel like this should be required watching for anyone who wants to better understand colliders and the politics around them. BobbyBroccoli made this series on the development of some of them.
Also that West Wing episode where a physicist is trying to get funding for our Collider and the staffer is like “what does it do? What practical applications does it have?” and the physicist says none. It’s practical application is discovery. That we discovered penicillin on accident not when we were researching practical applications of injections.
Of course it was fucking Reagan.
Hopefully without lube.
I don’t want to learn science from someone named BobbyBroccoli.
Bold claim from a monkey puppet, jk. I’ve watched his channel it’s really good. I found the videos on the collider to be really interesting.
Bold claim from a monkey puppet
How about Robby Ravioli instead?
How convenient; you won’t be learning science! You’ll be learning history!
Yay!
Bill Nye is literally just called the science guy and we got invaluable information from him.
Well maybe I’ll call up Broccoli Man if I need info on Broccoli
