Is It Worth the Money?
You can't do high energy particle physics in a very effective way without spending a lot of money. Unlike with the large hadron collider, we don't have a target. You just have to smash other particles together and see what comes out. So i think it is an unique kind of project where there's lots of justification for trying to do it. If you build the next collider without having found anything new at the l h c, you're just going on a fishing expedition. It's a hard call to make, and i'm glad that i'm not the one making it.
