⚠️ The Large Hadron Collider Is Being Shut Down

｢ engineers will start upgrading the device so that it can carry out ten times the number of particle collisions it currently can do, something that will allow for far more experiments to be conducted, yielding still more troves of data. The project, dubbed the high-luminosity LHC, will take some five years to complete — and while surely worth it in the long run, that’s an immense amount of down time ｣

@heiseonline Huuuh, cool 🫩😴😉😅

Weiß noch, wie das losging mit CERN, #Kernfusion sollte verstanden sein, verbesserte Materialien sollten ermöglicht werden, das #Energieproblem der Menschheit sollte gelöst sein. Leider ist nix davon eingetreten, oder?!

Was hat das bisher so gesamt gekostet, mindestens 10 Milliarden €?

Ich glaube ja, die größte Errungenschaft des CERN ist das #worldwideweb 😂 und das verschlingt eher Unmengen an Energie.

💥 ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC•CERN

｢ Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei ｣
