I say we collide politicians inside an accelerator.
We’d get more significant data that way.

How long can I run my iPhone on 13 TeV?

On Wednesday night, two opposing beams of protons were steered into each other at the four collision points spaced around the LHC's tunnel.

Good for them, so long as they don't cross the beams and reach total protonic reversal.
We've got enough problems.

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

The energy of the collisions was 13 trillion electronvolts - dwarfing the eight trillion reached during the LHC's first run, which ended in early 2013.

My calculations show that 13 trillion electronvolts = 1.3E-10 Joules.

Color me unimpressed.
