No. Particle physics has shown a clear need for a clean next gen e/p collider. The author unfortunately got caught up in the grind of the field and not the context or big picture. And frankly this is exemplified by the US having an even stronger publish or perish attitude. Almost nobody ever in the field has used the phrase "god particle", at least in Europe. Thats yet another american contribution I'm sorry.
Fine, leave the field, thats your prerogative, and do whats best for you. But please get back down off a soapbox and stop attacking the field that trained, educated and gave you the knowledge you have.
- 8note 4y agoHas it shown a clear need? What's the required energy needed to show the new thing, and what what need does it fill? Will the next collider solve climate change?
- saiya-jin 4y agoHowever pressing you may feel climate change is, it shouldn't be the sole focus of mankind for around trillion reason, give or take. We need progress on all fronts, hard science as much as more societal-oriented ones and everything around and in between. Just look at current world...
- rob_c 4y agoHiggs energy, discrepencies, and the need for precision higgs-science which we can only really do with a precision e/p collider rather than the dual-barral shotgun that is the LHC. The need it fills is to answer open questions about the standard model not explaining all known particle (the stuff you're made from) interactions or behaviours. Asking if it solved climate change is like me asking if your netflix subscription does. I'll ask nicely please don't be facetious.
- edgyquant 4y ago> Will the next collider solve climate change? This is an irrelevant appeal to emotion, try to engage faithfully
- Koshkin 4y ago> stop attacking… gave you… I’d like to find a name for this old fallacy. Something like “motherland fallacy” maybe?
