Large Hadron Collider revs up to unprecedented energy level
AFP (via MSN.com) ^ | 03 July 2022

Posted on 07/04/2022 2:34:14 AM PDT by zeestephen

Starting Tuesday it will run around the clock for nearly four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts..."We aim to be delivering 1.6 billion proton-proton collisions per second"...This time around the proton beams will be narrowed to less than 10 microns - a human hair is around 70 microns thick - to increase the collision rate...

(Better break out the Flexseal tape)

It fixes everything! Even a boat you sawed in half!

I think so. At a minimum.

Follow the science!

And dive the Seaview with those U.N. guys on deck. They can swim.

(It was reported that last time they ran it a portal opened up and “something” came through.)

As long as HDOH issues a COLB, what could possibly go wrong?

We, the US, will experience a proton gap against the Roosians!

Where’s Gordon Freeman when you need him?

There was a calculation that said there was a finite chance the Trinity test would ignite the atmosphere. It didn’t. Nor did any of the other above ground tests nuclear or thermonuclear. I’d say something was missing in the original calculation.

Noah probably had a tub of flex seal standing by back in the day s of the flood for his Ark. And a roll of duct tape.

It’s interesting God had him seal it inside and out.

Which was an excellent call.

And he kept the termites in a locked metal safe.

And thus the steerage class was born.

I call this proton abortion. This is blatant proton abuse and in some cases proton genocide. Where is the proton lobby? Native born protons want to be left alone in their own nucleus. Its criminal to tear down their wall. It’s just not right to blast them into tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, and very tiny bits. One of these days the protons will fight back and poof.

Massive Black Holes accelerate particles to energies much higher than anything we can produce here in Earth. They are the source of the mysterious Cosmic Rays that have been confounding science for decades. There are actually observatories that can see the tell tale signature light of these Cosmic rays as they hit the atmosphere and even observatories that can detect the high energy neutrinos as well. All of this provides further information that our own atom smashers could never match.

A Volt measures the energy per unit charge . The electron volt multiples that by an electrons charge which gives you a unit of energy . In this case the energy it takes bring a single electron up to one volt.

...the electronvolt is also a unit of mass

No. E=mc^2

Thank you for introducing me to Gordon Freeman.

I spent five minutes on Google reading about his adventures in Video Game Land.

Re: No. E=mc2

Actually, physicists use the electron volt to express extremely tiny weights because they would have to use long strings of zeroes (0.0000000 etc.) if expressed in grams.

Electron volts are conveniently written and easily understood.

And, as you point out, energy and mass are interchangeable.
