Wouldn’t it be easier to collide more massive particles at some point, instead of building such a huge collider?
But how would you accelerate to near-speed-of-light speed an ever bigger mass?
RNAi is asking a leading question, the answer to which is “build a larger collider”
personally I won’t be satisfied until we build the full orbit collider from Xenoblade
it’s about energy right? pretty sure there’s less energy in two 0.9999 c protons smashing into each other than there is in two semis with bricks on the gas pedals smashing into each other
They already collide calcium i believe to get quark plasma. They need to collide electons with positrons for interesting stuff tbh, this is likely shenigans.
The issue is quarks produce tons of garbage, bigger nuclei produce more tons of garbage, but when you get a pile of it you can call it a new state of matter
