Great discussion with @theorydad.bsky.social, Jenny List & @koppenburg.ch on the potential future of particle physics and the pros and cons of future machines.

Particle physicists need to form a clear consensus in the next year to drive the field forward.

Did you know that old cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs were like mini Large Hadron Colliders?

Your (grand)parents used to watch TV on a particle accelerator in their very own home!

Check it out!

You’re very welcome!

I definitely had to clean up some of my knowledge from dark, dusty corners 😅
