>BRO*snort*>BROOOO*snort*>JUST ONE MORE FUNDING BRO*snoooort*>I PROMISE BRO, JUST ONE MORE GOVERNMENT FUNDING TO FUND OUR USELESS STUPID BULLSHITwhy physicists are like this? mathematicians only need simple things like pencils, papers, and a trash can. not even philosophers this money-hungry. in fact, what can society get from a particle collider? nothing
>>16860644>Muh societyKill yourself, faggot.
>>16860654it's either society or not at all. cope
>>16860644no, you're right, we could have taken all that money wasted on a particle collider and written a check to KFC to help them develop a 12th herb and/or spice
>>16860658your average joe isn't going to get much from things like particle colliders
>>16860664Your average Joe doesn't get much from endless wars in the middle east either. Why don't you bitch about the absolute money sink that it is instead. Shit I think Israel gets more in a year than the LHC has in it's entire life to date.
>>16860664Your average joe doesn't get much immediate return from anything, but in order for long term technological progress to be made occasionally you have to invest in shit that doesn't immediately benefit the average joe.
Instead of spending billions building a collider that's 2% bigger than the last collider each time they don't find something, wouldn't it be smarter to save up a bit of money and build a collider that's 50x bigger than the last one?
>2% biggerLHC runs at about ~15x the energy of Tevatron.
>>16860671>Your average Joe doesn't get much from endless wars in the middle east eithersperging about wars out of nowhere?
>>16860685this stuff already operates based on the maximum amount of funding they can extract from governments. the theoretical physics cabal will get nothing if they shoot too high
>>16860644Yeah we could've sent that money to Mr Altman to make AGI even smarter. What a loss.
>>16860644Hitler kicked out the chemists and physicists out of Germany because they were Jews, and people like Einstein ended up giving the US the atom bomb based on useless theoretical physics.Today's government's don't want to miss the next radar, computer or atom bomb.
>>16861095actually, that's a great idea. AI can help more than any useless physics projects
>>16860644yeah we need that money for israel
