The Large Hadron Collider is set to come online soon. There are pundits who are concerned about mini black holes and the such; distruction of the world stuff. But what a way to go! How many people can say their world was wiped out by a black hole? (none I guess since if they were wiped out they could not talk about it--that's besides the point)
I am not that excited about the Higgs, Dark Energy, etc. that we may find but that which we may not find. I want more questions, more problems, things to keep physicists and mathematicians going for a long time. Of course the discovery of Higgs, etc. would be great but these are objects we name to model what we experience; and there is so much more.
We are an animal, on a small planet, orbiting a medium sun, on the edge of a medium galaxy, slowly rotating and traveling through the vast universe. There is so much more.

ReplyDeleteWhen does LHA come online?
ReplyDeleteBTW, Esh said that there was something on the news that a reporter had mis-spelled it to "Large Hardon Accelerator".
