What would YOU put in the LHC?

They're well ahead of you. They already run particles in both directions. You get asymptotically closer to the speed of light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula[^]

I woke up this morning after dreaming about the LHC. I have no life! But I was thinking - it's really big (why isn't it the RBHC?) but they are just smashing particles together.. or so they tell us. In my dream we were putting all sorts of stuff in there. The only one I remember was Pizza. Two pizzas at near light speed .. WHAMMO .. and the cheese got into he magnets, and that was the end of that. So, in the interests of wasting a few minutes - what would you put in the LHC, and why?

I hear they're already planning the VLHC(Very Large Hadron Collider) for 50 years time, so that would be the RVBLHC(Really Very Big Large Hadron Collider) :o If it were up to me, I'd smash pigeons. ...or maybe 2 Higgs Bosons!

What happens when you are?
*You* can't be. No object with nonzero mass can reach the speed of light (in a vacuum) without an infinite input of energy. Any mass less particle (photons) can only travel at the speed of light (in the medium they're in). They don't experience time at all. Absolutely zero time (in the photons frame of reference) passes between emission and absorption.

Fairy cake and a really, really, strong brownian motion generator (such as a cup of tea).

The idea of a particle being massless is unintuitive and unacceptable to me.
That's probably one of the least unintuitive things about quantum mechanics. :)
I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon

That's my take on it, the God/Higher Power that created quantum mechanics is an a**hole.

Actually, I'm not sure our species is capable of understanding it all. :sigh:

CTRL and ALT to one side and DEL to other side(assuming that LHC is using Windows 95) to save the world. ;P
There's a really fat and grumpy lady in our office. Suppose I could add a wall for her to colide with... How big is this thing again?

Depends whether you read or listen. Either trying to find our place in the universe, or simply trying to recreate it.

Was it Golden Grahams or some cheesy cracker snack that used to have commercials concerning how they were able to fit so much of the appropriate flavor into such a small bit of food? Well, now we know how they did it. But they obviously built a better one, and handed the old one down to the physicists, I guess....
