   is there any expectation that someday somehow a giant particle accelerator will eventually result in some kind of tangible quality of life improvements

     @augustus @sun look there was a time without massive state funded science, no peer review and no huge expensive experiments when people discovered tons of stuff that made our life better, that's why we need all those things NOW to invent more things.

     @lain @augustus my primary concern is that large particle colliders will accidentally allow an ancient giant transdimensional eldritch horror to enter our universe

     @sun @lain when I was a kid we'd go up to the abandoned slag heap and find big rocks and push them off the cliff and watch them tumble down and smash into each other. tfw I was doing particle physics without knowing it

     @nerthos I'm okay with science for science sake but you're using other people's money and they have different ideas of how their money is spent
