You can't test most of high end physics at home. I hope that doesn't mean you don't believe it!

- Ngunyan 8y agoWe're talking here of technology, something that can be turned into a product, and not black holes, for example.
- shub 8y agoA lab publishes an exciting result, what does the physics community do? Wait for replication. Or if you’re LHC, be very careful what you publish.
- sanxiyn 8y agoIn theory, there are two separate experiments (ATLAS and CMS) on LHC because of this. In practice, they are probably not independent enough.
- oldgradstudent 8y agoIt's probably a good idea to ignore high-end physics results for a few years, though. The BICEP2 fiasco is a good example why.
