You know what WOULD solve physics?

TRAINS

Yessss run the trains through the collider
Who is brave enough to ride the LCC centrifuge?! It’s EXTREEEEEEEeeeeee______ 💥

Yes, trains!

Maybe in a very, very large circular track. A huge circle.

And fast. Super fast. Make them faster by making them lighter. Smaller. Super tiny. So light and fast.

A teeny, tiny, light train going super duper fast in a very large circle.

Sure hope it doesn’t smack into anything while going top speed. Or maybe it does, so long as we measure it.

We already have plenty of trains in Switzerland, they’re just expensive to ride
There’s this (true) anecdote that precision measurements at CERN/LHC need to take into account the schedule of high-speed trains in the area because they cause tiny, yet measurable disturbances in the power grid.
