This is probably one of my favorite descriptions of the detector experiments. The innermost part of all the LHC detectors are literally blown-up versions of handheld digital cameras!

LHC is the biggest photograph camera, ever built by human, to take 3D pictures of the smallest things in nature.

Does anybody think that, in absolute principle, the huge amount of collision data could be used to solve the Hodge Conjecture ?

2. If the Rishon model were found, would it show the Higgs field as an alternating field of R and V

R V R V
V R V R
R V R V
V R V R

wrapped in such a way that 1/4 affines to gravity ?

1. It is a man-made thrill ride for protons. A bunch of scientists watch carefully when they throw up, to find out what they eat.

2. It is a big electromagnetic joy-buzzer that annoys the universe until it lashes out a little so we can find out how it really feels.

3. It is a large machine made of silicon, metal, plastic, and people. It converts electricity and coffee into equations and graphs.

4. It is an assembly line for manufacturing physics and physicists.

5. It is a large, circular instrument for measuring something, but no one will know what until it has measured it.

6. It a giant circle drawn around Golf de la Manchette, illuminated by synchrotron radiation, to attract business from aliens eager to experience the legendary human pastime of hitting balls into holes.
