Everyone can't all go work on the LHC. Even the lowly work of refining measurements of known phenomena is important and necessary.

- misnome 11y agoMy comparison with the LHC was in particular to reporting "first collisions" - whilst an impressive technical accomplishment, the physics measurements come later. There is nothing 'lowly' about measuring any of the fundamental parameters.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoOr some of us worked on the LHC (tier 1 data taking at Fermilab) and it was a terrible gig.
