Title: Huge atom-smasher bid to find missing 95% of Universe
Post by: Nearly Sane on February 05, 2024, 07:01:38 AM
Flash, I love you but we've only got 14 hours to find 95% of the universe

Not sure it's worth money.

The LHC has not found anything to challenge the standard model.

You can always say just give me a bigger machine with the energies I need. But, how do we even think there is more to find?

If the newer higher energy machine fails, you just say we need a bigger one. This goes on and on

Isn't that a result in itself?

Was confirming the existence of the Higgs boson not important?

Yes, but it was the standar model confirmed, nothing new.

Also, they have found nothing else.

Perhaps I watch to many Sabine videos?
