Gordon Freeman steps out of the clean room
“Particle accelerator’s haunted.”
Other scientist: “What?”
Gordon pulls a shotgun from his locker and starts loading it
“Particle accelerator’s haunted.”
Gordon cocks it and steps back into the clean room
Gordon doesn’t speak. 0/5
Ok, this actually made me chuckle out loud.
You really nailed it
“Heisenberg, quit fucking with the living and get your ass back to Purgatory.”
He left because he was sick of Schrödinger talking about his cats and Feynman bragging about his endless escapades with women.
The New Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that one can never be quite certain if they are being haunted by Heisenberg or not.
Magnets that power these facilities are imperfect, and even tiny fluctuations in magnetism can cause resonance.
Thing is, it’s not even limited to the magnets. As the energies go up, things like global gravitational flux and even changes in mass near the accelerator will affect the particle’s path. If this happens over time in line with a resonant frequency, you can get the double bounce effect.
I wasn’t able to tell how much of this they’re currently accounting for with their model, or if they are only factoring in the known magnetic imperfections.
Gravity is 36 orders of magnitude weaker than electromagnetic forces. It is never taken into account in particle physics as it doesn’t have a measurable effect.
Them forces WEAK
I sort of understood the words the article said. But I’m not sure if I understand how important it is. I feel like they’re hoping someone else will use their work to make either CERN better with some engineering, or a new particle accelerator. So this work alone can’t do much.
They’re already building a new, bigger one.
