Honest question: why is a larger collider even needed? Just make the particles run more loops around your track.

I like how it went from second to third picture. Borders? Who needs borders?

Larger Hadron Collider

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

Just wait until the day somebody makes one that's a full 1 AU in radius.

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.

Lead engineer, Dr. Slab Bulkhead.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No, that would be Bulgaria

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. )

My understanding based on watching too many science communicators videos on YouTube is that such tiny black holes would evaporate quickly before causing harm that humans could appreciate. However, this would provide experimental evidence of Hawkings theory.

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.

Didn’t stop some fearmongering from the last one that went operational.

“The new supercollider could cause BlAcK hOLeS; ExPeRtS SaY!!!1!1!1!1!2!?3!!4!!!”

Honestly, I would love a slow-mo guys style video of a bunch of ~~nerds~~very professional researchers smashing microsingularities into random ~~fruit~~ targets.

I assume it would be fairly boring without some massive magnification… but ya know….

What's the new one for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

AI particles & AI physics 🤡

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

More particles. MOOOOOREEEE!

For smashing things
