Mike@mikez_petm “The collider's 27 km tunnel is so long that it could circle the Earth three times”
- sorry, what?
TimePencilYeah! What Mike said!
Maybe there's one beamline that completes multiple circuits of the 27km tunnel, with a second beamline that runs in the opposite direction.
That would mean the stuff being "smashed" does 4500+ laps of the tunnel before colliding.
Originally planned to be built under the France- German border, the France-Switzerland border was selected when the Germans opted out.
The Germans remembered that they're no longer allowed to fire anything into France.
