    The 'Future Circular Collider' (FCC) is a plan for a 100km ring-shaped particle accelerator buried underground near Geneva, which would dwarf the Large Hadron Collider in power, reaching collision energies of up to 100 TeV. This formidable machine would allow physicists to seek answers to some of the deepest questions about our universe including the nature of dark matter, the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, and whether a deeper theory lies beneath the current Standard Model of particle physics.

    Dr Harry Cliff is a particle physicist based at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Harry’s research is focused on searching for signs of new particles and forces beyond the Standard Model of particle physics by studying the decays of particles known as bottom quarks. For the past seven years he has held a joint fellowship with the Science Museum, where he curated exhibitions on physics and astronomy including a major exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider.
    Professor John Womersley is one of the world’s foremost particle physicists and has taken leading roles on projects both in Europe and the United States. John worked at Fermilab near Chicago before becoming a scientific advisor to the Department of Energy in the US. He returned to the UK in 2005 to become Director of the Particle Physics Department at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at a time when it was building and delivering vital components to CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In time John took on a broader role as Director of the Science Programmes Office and was then appointed Chief Executive of the Science and Technology Facilities Council in 2011. He is now the Director General of Europe’s next major science project, the European Spallation Source.

    Hi everyone, lots of you have asked us over the years for an update of what's going at the LHC, Cern and particle physics in general these days, so we invited Helen Czerski, Harry Cliff and John Womersley to talk about the new proposed circular collider. We actually even live streamed the talk as it was happening so if you're experiencing déjà vu, that's probably why! th-cam.com/video/rSDE9E_J4-w/w-d-xo.html

      It seems to me that its very hard to argue for spending such vast sums on this one area of high-energy particle research when there is not really a theoretical basis to set out what a new collider would be looking for. At least the LHC had a target (the Higgs), with a theoretical energy window to narrow the search. Right now theoretical physics appears to be virtually at a stand. Aside from the Higgs the LHC has failed to uncover evidence of any new particle in the energy range of its operation. I for one would not wish to support the building of a new accelerator with no theoretical basis whatsoever. Surely there are better ways to spend the money on other more promising research fields until the theorists come up with a testable model.

      Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
      When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.
      Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons.
      Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron.
      Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.

    When I first saw this I thought this was strange but now after watching it again and not getting to worked up about spooky action entanglement mechanics it’s really brilliant and insightful. It seems to be saying basically that we expect to much by thinking everything is classical and can easily give granularity detail. Kind of like a classic mode. But quantum mechanics is showing randomness which may require more and more inquiries which are hidden in wave like entrapment. Which require more questions to see the history of the particle as it was, but never predict any small particle as it will be. So this is more of a detective kind of process. To find out who did it or where they went. But not tell where they will go. As if the universe programs in wave like randomness or encoded secret cryptography. Splitting up things randomly and you can’t tell the key and meaning until you read all the different views, the different encoded messages and go through the orcesss to decode the message. It’s like a mystical actual quantum encode process is built into the nature of the universe. And we will never understand these things like little particles. Because the mixed wave nature and uncertainty are just a part of the universe encoding this to keep it hidden from us until we finally query what was put in it. As many outcomes are available from super positions. It seems to me that super positions are a kind of encode of quantum tricks which nature is playing on us. To put randomness and unpredictability into the universe. That randomness baffles those who want a simple Newtonian cause and effect. Simple classical physics seems to say well you can know and calculate and predict ahead of time. But quorum universe entanglement and uncertainty gives a sense of randomness which makes it appear that classical approaches will never work alone here. That’s just the nature of the universe. So a built in uncertainty of anything but the statistical randomness of the various outcomes can be predicted. Things like wave variations are not simple wave functions but complex and baffling. The hope for physics to explain all, outcomes sigh determinism meats it’s match and cannot win. Because random entanglement an games of chance are written into the way the quantum universe works. This means the quantum label is a kind of misnomer in my opinion. Because we think more bits and more deeper understanding of simp,e bits can predict where one but will take one path. But wave entanglement is a random encode which defeats this. The way I look at this is an entangled quantum encryption is happening by the universe in a sense. Like the universe performing an encryption game which classical goals will never crack. You can only read from many parts the results, but never predict the message. The encode is almost spooky and alive in a sense. And it’s random enough that you can’t predict it. Anyway this is what I got out of this. But maybe I wrote this to quickly to make this clearly described.
    The spookiness is it appears that comp,Edith of encryption is decided faster than the speed of light. And it’s not really known if a quit was encoded or a second decide unless you are at both reliever sites. So it doesn’t break the speed of light it merely keeps the information of the complexity hidden by constraints of a complex decode process which can’t be done from one remote location,

    The LHC was built for the purpose of finding something that's existence had been predicted and theorized many years ago. The issue that will cause building a larger and more powerful particle collider difficult is that unlike the LHC there isn't another specifically predicted particle that is being hunted. There may be particles waiting to be discovered but we would just kinda be fondling about in the dark hoping to find something.

Dark matter is really the way physicists describe a phenomenon that we dont understand and can't really explain, unlike the Higgs field. So the LHC was built because we were convinced we would find the Higgs. Dark matter could very well be completely nonexistent and the expanding universe could be caused by something else. Dark Matter is really just a best guess and a stand in for observation that we can't explain. The Higgs field was essentially proven before we actually discovered it through calculations and logical conclusions. Dark matter, including WIMP's are not like looking for the Higgs. It's much more speculative. There are smart people who think dark matter may explain the perplexing phenomena that we observe but building a stronger particle accelerator may be futile.

      Its all special relativity. As you get closer to the speed of light, it gets harder and harder to get closer. Thus more and more energy is needed for tiny changes in velocity.

    The problem is that we have no expectation of new physics from that next hadron collider. 1) Theorists are losing confidence in WIMPs as dark matter candidates. 2) There are serious arguments against DM being required to explain galactic rotation curves--which is why it was originally proposed. So it may not exist at all! That graphic of the DM halo around a spiral galaxy? All standard DM stuff, and quite possibly wrong. See astrophysicist and cosmologist Stacy McGaugh on the topic at tritonstation.wordpress.com/category/dark-matter/
    I've nothing against high-precision studies of Higgs properties, and it may be that the largest portion of the cost of a next-gen CERN hadron collider would be the tunnel required for that electron-positron collider precursor. In which case it might be a reasonable idea. But other proposals (non-CERN) have been bandied about for precision studies, such as a linear accelerator, which wouldn't have the synchrotron radiation problem.
    I have little confidence in new physics from a hadron collider we can actually build. We have no compelling theoretical reason to expect new physics until Plank energies are reached. Which is _15 orders of magnitude_ higher than the LHC! Going from 13 TeV to 100 TeV is unimpressive if what's needed is an increase of one million billion.
    If you want new physics/cosmology, spend those Euro on a second 40 meter class telescope for the European Southern Observatory -- or try to go even larger. The Extremely Large Telescope will by far be the largest in the world, and much cheaper than another hadron collider.

      1.) That’s a hypothetical thought experiment, particles are neither immovable objects nor unstoppable forces. Particle accelerators are certainly the closest we can come to achieving that concept, but in the end, it’s not how particles behave.
      2.) It is theoretically possible to make artificial blackholes in particle accelerators, however it’s more predictable than these dumb articles make it sound. The amount of mass and energy to potentially make one is calculable, and Cern, nor really anything planned, can really cut it.
      3.) Even if you did somehow make a micro black hole inside a particle accelerator... So what? Artificial black holes, if we can even manage to make one, would be incredibly tiny, with unbelievably small Schwarzschild radii... Which means it would have such extreme tidal forces that it wouldn’t affect anything even just an arm’s length away, and it would decay almost immediately as a result of hawking radiation.
      ... In otherwords, there’s far more pressing matters to get bent out of shape about if your concern is the safety of earth, like the threat of asteroid impacts, global warming, and nuclear proliferation. Why don’t you leave it up to the experts to do the risk assessment on this topic, given they have way more experience
      with how particles actually behave than you do. I don’t even have a degree, and even I can explain to you in simple terms why “particle acceleators are doomsday device” arguments are complete BS, simply because it doesn’t take much real research to realize why its pointless fear mongering. Go read up on how particles actually behave, and you’d realize that the chances of one of these things making a dent on earth is basically zero.
      “These energies are dangerous”
      We have released WAY more energy all at once in nuclear weapon detonations than we probably ever will in a particle accelerators. Particle accelerator energy levels sound scary until you realize that the energy you’re talking about only involves INDIVIDUAL PARTICLES. You’re only dealing with the energies of a handful of particles... As in, single, or maybe double digit numbers of collisions.
      Compare that to literally trillions and trillions of plutonium nuclei splitting apart, and trillions and trillions of tritium nuclei fusing together inside of a hydrogen bomb, and suddenly, the amount of energy in a particle acceleator is no big deal.

Because reducing the costs of tunneling will be essential to lowering the overall cost and the resistance to funding it...

How do you know the bigger collider will give you better results. It might just get ridiculous after a while.

      At the center of the detectors, where you actually collide the particles, you put some superprecise magnets that steer the particles onto each other. You need to manage these magnets carefully, as you don't want to collide when the particles have just entered accelerator and haven't reached the desired speed. But when the particles are at the right speed, you tune these magnets so that the particles collide.

We've nothing like the power, and it would be hard to notice even if we could have some minuscule affect. Because flips are random, happening in as little as 100,000 years, or as many as 50 million. Nor do we have good data on what happens right before a flip, so how would we recognize that tiny affect?
