, Hartsfield argues that massive particle accelerators simply aren't worth the colossal amounts of money and effort — and that the funds should be spent elsewhere.Hartsfield's reasoning: the discoveries particle colliders have brought about are increasingly obscure and theoretical.
Simply put, spending billions of dollars on an even bigger particle collider may end up being unable to test this new theory.Therefore, spending up to $100 billion — Hartsfield's own estimate, admittedly on the high end — on a new version of the LHC could be a huge mistake. "There are many known problems in physics right now," he argues. "$100 billion could fund 100,000 smaller physics experiments."
