RE: Live from CERN - When sushis can help in the development of a future particle collider
No, I understand what you mean but I read how Cern has found gluons the nuclear force that holds quarks. Then we have the God Particle, I feel these things can play a huge role in transhumanism and life extension. I know the question was a bit off the posts topic but I wanted to pick your brain a little! Your posts and responses are written in a very intelligent manner! Keep up the great work I enjoy reading them.
Actually, gluons were found for the first time elsewhere (in Hamburg, Germany). Other particles have been found at CERN, the last one being the Higgs boson at the LHC. The Higgs is sometimes called by the general audience the god particle although that has nothing to do with religion; the story about this naming is funny too: just an editor who changed a word in a title (goddamn to god).
I am kind of convinced elementary particles like the Higgs can play no role in any practical thing. it is first very hard to produce, and then it decays very quickly. I don't foresee how to store it for instance.
Thanks a lot for the chat. Don't hesitate to continue :)
