I’d rather have a 100km particle collider than an aircraft carrier.
What if we build it on a 100km aircraft carrier? Think of the possibilities! heh
In a ideal word, sure, I’d too. But we live among fucking beasts.
Yeah, if history has taught as nothing else, it’s that the guy with the biggest stick usually wins. There are many criticisms of the U.S. military, but no one could accuse it of being weak. That kind of deterrence is invaluable.
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.
“Ok, but what does this collider do, that the one you have in the garage won’t do ?”
Mrs Cern.
we almost built a really fucking big collider in the US somewhere in the middle of fuck off land texas.
It died.
Shit Sabine Hossenfelder would say. (She funny tho…)
Edit: I had no idea about her questionable actions so that is news to me.
She also did an interview with a holocaust denier so…
Ok, that I didn’t know. Off to find some references.
(I have fairly strong opinions about people like that. Hell, I refuse to watch any Tom Cruise movies because of his association with scientology, just as an example.)
