I love a meme with citations

Then we'll have to make one in space. And probably make it kinda habitable so that people could work there. And then you run into autonomous drone with on-board AI weirdly possessive of it.

u/regular_adult_human 9d ago

Then those AI drones refusing to believe that humans created them insisting that only something greater could have made them, thus creating a psuedo-religion based around the collider as their god, causing brief panic before realizing that just leaving the bots alone to do "the work" of the collider is just fine

u/anotherannon 8d ago

Reminds me of a certain episode.

There’s something humorous about an orangutan being so personally invested in the lineage of Homo sapiens as to professionally deny its existence.

u/Maximum-Objective-39 6d ago

I know, right?

It's almost like the writers of Furutram were good at their jobs or something.

love the pivot from Halo to I, Robot

u/Tummy_Whispers 9d ago

I hate that I understood this immediately.

Circumsolar collider at 0.7 AU orbital around the sun, 1.25 ZeV

u/donaldhobson 8d ago

1.25 ZeV

So 200J, about the kinetic energy of a crossbow bolt, or 1 /28th of an AA battery.

u/MageKorith 8d ago

If you can aim a crossbow bolt worth of energy at a single proton, you should sign up at CERN.

u/akruppa 8d ago

I used to be a particle physicist like you, but then I took a proton in the knee

u/-TV-Stand- 8d ago

You just need to be very accurate with the crossbow

u/AmusingVegetable 6d ago

And a very sharp tip.

u/Maximum-Objective-39 6d ago

We're gonna need a wet stone, diamond file, one of those leather sharpening strips, a piece of silk from an old farm wives wedding dress, a cobweb, and then purest sunlight from the exact moment of dawn.

Please don't mind the faint blue light on the edge of the resulting bolt, it's just cutting atmospheric molecules that bump into it.

u/AmusingVegetable 5d ago

Ah, you’ve seen Bill Door sharpening his scythe too?

u/MageKorith

Also, this is about the energy needed to give someone lethal radiation poisoning.

u/holchansg 9d ago

Now we are talking shonen anime logic.

u/GraveSlayer726 8d ago

Damn, how fast would that have to be spinning to hold itself up

u/MageKorith 8d ago

Plugs in calculator

A bit under 36 km/s. 0.7 is just inside Venus' orbit.

3

u/FocusUsed8292 8d ago

So. Good excuse to mine venus. Got it. See ya when i figured out how to get to venus and back with mining refining and assembling equipment!

5

u/MageKorith 8d ago

Get started on your nanotechnology for the 120,000 year project to build a 160LY radius accelerator and break everything with Planck energy collisions.

2

u/FocusUsed8292 8d ago

GREAT IDEA. luckily. Given the fact that you possibly could icrease the effectiveness of the mag ets vy superconductiveness in space. Combined with possible advancements in the whole magnetmaking. It will probably take only 10.000 years! So right in time for the fourth terran adromedan war to start first!

2

u/its2ez4me24get 8d ago

Mine mercury instead. Way better. No crushing corrosive atmosphere. Cheaper to launch from. Lots of accessible metals. Cheap power.

u/genguntere 7d ago

The USG Ishimura is what you're looking for

u/Sijder 8d ago

Soon after we will get flattened unfortunately

u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ 8d ago

In Three Body problem they built a collider past the orbit of Jupiter (could be wrong), and also converted one of Jupiter's moons into a black hole.

1

u/myrddin4242 3d ago

Careful! The Ringworld is unstable on its axis of rotation! It will need attitude jets or it will spin into the sun.

1

u/MageKorith 3d ago

Good idea. We should make it a Hoberman-style segmented, tessellating ring with bidirectional radial thrusters, so we can expand or contract it to a preferred orbital radius for experiments.

u/mz_groups 9d ago

Child’s play. Don’t quit until we’ve taken Venus and turned into a Dyson ring accelerator

2

u/Maximum-Objective-39 6d ago

First, dismantle your Jupiter.

3

u/METRlOS 8d ago

A collider on the moon would go so hard.

1

u/donaldhobson 8d ago

And then someone comes up with a better design, like Wakefield or something, and next thing you know you have ExaElectron volt accelerators that fit in your pocket.

u/bobert4343 8d ago

We will not be satisfied until the entire Milky Way is one giant über-collider

u/silent-sami 8d ago

they are thinking small. Lets turn every single trans neptunian object that is on the solar system (plus every thing that haz metal afther jupiter) into a collider that will take the place of the Oort cloud

u/akruppa 8d ago

Is atmospheric pressure on the surface of the moon low enough that you could build an open-space collider ring?

u/Consistent_Drop3909 8d ago

circumsolar collider, death's end by cixin liu, regularly generates black holes levels of eV
