RE: A posthumous memo by Stephen Hawking: towards a super collider in China (or at CERN?)

It will furthermore run until 2035.

And what will happen to it then? Disassembled and sold as spare parts?

Does the design of the new collider vary according to which particles they'll want to probe, or is it one-size-fits-all?


Once again, some stupid stuff is hidden in this post… Can you find it?

😑 Does anyone ever find these things?

Well, if a super collider is built, the LHC will be used as a pre-accelerator, as shown on the map presented in the post. The magnets will have to be all replaced, and I have no idea what will happen with the former ones. Maybe will you be able to buy one for your living room ;)

We don't know what we are exactly looking for, so that we must stay open to any option. Some of them will be reachable with the new collider, some of them not. But at some point, a line must be drawn. With the energy requirement of the next machine, we have some certainty to learn a lot about the Higgs. This is already something. For the rest, it really depends how evilistic is nature.


Yes! Two found it here :)

If you can use your connections to get me a good price for the magnets, maybe I can make something like this.

If you make one for me.... then we can discuss :D
