Accelerating Protons at the Hadron Collider and Speculative Conversations About Constant Acceleration
The chapter explores the process of accelerating protons at the Hadron collider using super magnets, diving into how their weight increases as they reach near-light speeds. It transitions into speculative dialogue about constant acceleration on ships and its impact on time dilation, leading to a sci-fi story of a ship surfing through the universe constantly accelerating. The discussion also touches on theories about the origins of life in the universe, skepticism towards established scientific ideas, and complexities of redshift in astronomy.
