Remember how nut-jobs were convinced that using the LHC would create an earth-eating black hole? I miss the simpler times.
Uneducated conspiracy theorists seemed laughably quaint back in 2012.
2012? The LHC black hole shit was the mid 2000s, around 2008 is when it peaked.
Which itself was a repeat of the same concerns that were thrown around in 2003, when CERN thoroughly debunked them the first time.
And I have full confidence we’ll see a return of them once this project gets closer to fruition.
That’s a flippin colossal collider
Right? That’s an unimaginable amount of work. Imagine trying to debug that thing if there are issues. Walking miles a day just checking on stuff lol
Imagine designing this thing that probably won’t be completed until you’re dust!
Is it by smashing stuff together until they break something fundamental, and the universe goes dark?
Whoops, blew the galactic breaker. Somebody has to go down to the supermassive black hole and flip it back on.
Instead of building it this big, they should build it as big as the following one will be.
Instead of building it that big, they should build it as big as the following one after the following one will be.
