Is it turtles all the way down, or is there a theoretical maximum size of a particle collider where no larger size would yield interesting results?

- pacala 6y agoI've heard 'solar system size' and even 'galaxy size'. Maybe we should take a step back and realize that funding for high energy physics is rooted in the Cold War's nuclear arm's race. We already have nuclear devices more powerful than we'd ever need, not clear why we'd fund ever larger particle colliders.
