I mean... dark matter exists (or MOND if you are into that). So there's no real question that there's physics beyond the standard model. Why not try our luck

I mean... dark matter exists (or MOND if you are into that). So there's no real question that there's physics beyond the standard model. Why not try our luck in the accessible regions to see whether that's where it lives?
- SiempreViernes 4y agoThe high energy frontier the FCC targets is one of the more accessible regions: it's not like there's any viable way to travel the interstellar distances needed to really look for dark matter outside the solar systems. We're stuck on earth for the foreseeable future, and building 2 more of the instruments we're already building won't do anything to resolve the problems high energy physics struggle with.
- Jweb_Guru 4y agoEven if dark matter is (as seems quite possible) made up of unknown particles, you don't think probing the possibility space with a particle accelerator will help? I know many particle physicists disagree...
- SiempreViernes 4y agoI do think it will help more than leaving it to the cosmologists.
