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'd rather have a 100km particle collider than an aircraft carrier.

for context 22 billion is a few billions less than what elon musk overpaid for twitter. i don't think a bigger collider will do anything but I'd like for humanity to have this rather than whatever the fuck the rich are doing now.

22 billion is such a drop in the bucket for a pan-European, decades long project. That's enough money to fund Israel's genocide for like, 72 hours.

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

Is not only about physics research. The complexity of those projects fund hundreds of sectors and push forward new technologies who will have many commercial use.

...Also they've confirmed the existence of this little thing called Higgs Boson which field define pretty much reality, soo... not exactly wasted time.

I'm waiting on the equatorial supercollider myself. 40,075km let's go!

Just make one big enough that you can use billionaires instead of atomic particles

You know what WOULD solve physics?

TRAINS

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.

And I think it's beautiful.

What would happen if we put a small collider inside of a bigger collider and spun it around while it spun around?

You just know the letters of the FCC originally stood for Fucking Collosal Collider.

This is starting to turn into some Full Metal Alchemist shit. If you know, you know.

How else will we transmogrify enough souls to create a philosopher stone

I mean do science stuff?

22 billion is just a drop in the bucket to the Committee of 300 on their path to world domination.

Just wait, if civilization and/or human life still exists in a thousand years or so, they'll build one into an orbital ring.

Eh who am I kidding, well be lucky to survive the 21st century.

Starting to be suspicious like an alchemy circle around multiple cities...
