This is one person's opinion vs. many other physicists in favour of building it.
Building it serves two purposes: if either demonstrates that there's no new physics (within easy reach), or there is new physics. Both will trigger research for decades, regardless.
- jjtheblunt 6y agoAre you saying a purpose is to fund physicists with jobs?
- craftyguy 6y agoSociety generally gets more out of research than a bunch of gainfully employed physicists.
- jjtheblunt 6y agoi totally agree (scientifically trained myself, took physics at Fermilab in fact); just wonder if that was the point
- DrBazza 6y agoI'm just stating that without building it particle physics and industry around that will suffer. That includes material science, that develop the magnets and cooling, computer science that develop the systems and storage (no world wide web!), and so on.
