Math and humans modeled the Higgs before technology “found it” IMO like with space ships this is just not a useful engineering endeavor in general We probably could iterate on engineering AI and nanotechnology so future people could programmatically build specific machines But let’s go on a whim and prematurely optimize a machine to maybe produce new insights at scale that, unlike with the Higgs, we’re still trying to find consensus mathematics to define We’re putting the cart before the horse this time and the fact the LHC hasn’t produced much else even with all the mathy theories has shown on paper we’re so off the mark a giant new machine would be built just to titillate a generation that is addicted to being titillated Maybe we could just get our own imaginations back for a bit before we keep following the imaginings of yesterday Not sure if you’ve noticed but pandemic life is making building such a thing a non-starter. How do you design, plan, and assemble such a thing when groups of people have to work on a basement?
