So does this mean that maybe we made the right call not building the Super Conducting Super Collider? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Colli

- T-A 10y agoNot necessarily. The (design) collision energy of the SSC was 40 TeV, about 3x the LHC's. So it is still conceivable that it could have found something genuinely new which is out of the LHC's reach. I guess Lisa Randall is getting really worried now [1].

- talideon 10y agoGood and useful work has come out of the LHC, enough to make it more than worthwhile. It's just that some of the big hopes don't seem to have panned out.
