A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Fucking hell, we can't get a tramway for 10b CAD around here and a 12km tunnel under a river was going to cost half a 100km collider 😐
The problem is a train needs to transport humans, whereas the collider just needs to transport teeny tiny particles and keep a receipt of their arrival.
The particle collider also doesn’t need to ensure the safety of the particles. Frankly, if it did it would be a rather shitty collider.
I do love the image of scientists constructing little half buckyball helmets that they lovingly wrap around a lead atom before yeeting it to .9995% the speed of light
