RE: Citizen science on Hive - The first ever calculation of same-sign di-muon total rates at the LHC run 3!

in StemSocial2 years ago

I let you imagine how happy I was when I read the report from @agreste and saw the plots he made. Those were precisely what I was expecting the participants to obtain, and they are the true proof our project can be a winning one!

Thatd be cool to see hive used as a sensible way to post data on a blockchain for the lowest price at cern lol all univeristies should use it

This would not be possible. The chain is way too slow and too small for the LHC. We are talking about hundreds of MB per second. Instead, we use a dedicated computing system, and decentralisation is not an option (too slow, too small in terms of space). We can only go with an expensive solution targeting the problem we need to solve (that is expensive because we need speed, space, backups, high-speed communication between universities and dedicated data centres from all over the world, etc.).

As I already mentioned it, blockchains are not suitable to solve any problem.
