Chinese scientists are racing to complete plans for a supergiant particle collider that, when built, will dwarf every other accelerator on the planet.
The underground particle-smashing ring aims to be at least twice the size of the globe's current leading collider - the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) outside Geneva. With a circumference of 80 kilometres, the Chinese accelerator complex would encircle the entire island of Manhattan.
China hopes that this Circular Electron Positron Collider will shine as a symbol of the country's rise as a global superpower in terms of pure scientific research.
- Oh those wacky materialists and their trillion dollar funding. If only they knew how pointless this was. Hahahahahhaamonospaced
- world in poverty and these cunts spend billions on smashing particles together.********
- yupmoldero
- Yeah but smashing particles is coolukit2
- I was being sarcastic. that kind of $ wouldn't go to something that wasn't being taken extremely seriouslymonospaced
- Trillions is obviously sarcasm, however the LHC has cost billions so far. 13bn if I recall correctly...********
