Because the guys that created the internet wanted it so.

Because in the u.s. whoever proposed it would have been burned as a witch.

because Americans would weaponize it.

Europe was able to build it without a corporate sponsor.

Large hardon collider

Mini black holes

Education...

What does it do?

it was originally going to be built in texas

because of your diversity rules,you need 50 % of black scientist , also 50 % women , omg

see

I appreciate ya

This

>omg
18+ on this site, im calling your mom

Did you just find out about this?

no.

yes.
the us doesnt like funding things like this.
look at nasa.

We were building a super collider in Texas, (much larger than hadron) but Republicans shut it down, because rich folks needed the money instead, so we gave up world leadership in physics for trickle down economics. Google "texas super collider" for more info.

because the Europeans paid for it. The similar US SSC project was canceled (after wasting over 2billion dollars).

Simple. They wanted it to work.

Bullshit, that had NOTHING to do with it.

Apparently you racists have to find reasons to be racist even if you have to make them up. Dipshit.

because americans are too stupid to do science on this level..

It’s not physically possible for Americans to build something so complicated

>muh god

10/10

Did you seriously get baited that hard, or are you really shit at acting genuine?

Cause is serious stuff OP, not gunnery

Well, lemme see. I have a theory.
As a kid they once took us on a school trip to a particle accelerator in Switzerland. We didn't understand shit, but everybody thought it was cool to travel across the border and see machinery.
I clearly remember two things that would make Americans struggle with the technology
1-You can't fit a mobility scooter on the corridors, since they're somewhat tight and full of magnets
2-Every unit is in metric system

Sorry Yanks, no science for you

In the U.S. we don't like science anymore.
The empirical facts associated with science screw with our political & religious feels.
Feels are science now in the USA.

they already have one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Heavy_Ion_Collider

We have a nuetron collider at Cornell

I did not know we also had a hardon collider.

This

Because americans cant even be trusted with a gun. They also need weeks off work to have wisdom teeth pulled and they're dumb.

Plus trump would know what it would be as its not Mexican, and you're just plain stupid really. American level of intelligence is laughable. You're also the state with leading with the worst dental issues. Americans have far worse oral hygiene. 1 in 5 americans visit a dentist. 4 out 5 for uk.

...

Because we tried but failed because of political bullshit:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

I hate that this is factual.

Fucking Ay what happened to this country.

Well, let me see. We americans made an entire ship disappear back in the 1940s.

Have fun with your "collider"...

NOt an American but you are so off topic that it isn’t even funny. Who the fuck mentioned dental health? What prompted you to talk about dental health?

because it isn't god magic

>The SSC's planned collision energy of 2 x 20 = 40 TeV was roughly three times that of the 2 x 6.5 = 13 TeV (as of June 2015) of its European counterpart, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva.

Was that the day your mom visited Virginia, had a hunger fit and ate the ship?

You made a ship disappear 1912 too. Impressive work.

...

>sauce nuclear physics student at Cornell. Wishes he was Eurofag so he could play at CERN

The narrative is that all the earthquakes in OK and TX are from "fracking".

Nope.

They have covertly built a collider.

Kek

That was the brits, to be fair

>planned
it fucking never existed

Not american either but im guessing hes british and always gets shat on because farm animals have better teeth than them

Well if they cant look after the bones in there own mouths why trust them with a device that can destroy earth. Its also not off topic. Its factual darling x

Because the United States masturbates to aggressive ignorance and hasn't had the balls to undertake a significant scientific project since the goddamn space race.

Trump!!! U dumb fuck

We spent 2 billiion dollars on it then canceled the project. About 15 miles of the tunnels were complete and the main facility but that was about it.

Dat cable management though

Wow. You've just proved my point you dumb cunt. Try again. Adults are talking get off 4 chan go to bed like a good lad. Night night

Not sunk. Cloaked and teleported.

>science
>US
>mfw

>lad

he is british

Duuuude they finally made op's mom's dildo

And this is why the U.S. can't have nice things.

forgot the related gif

Because Reagan and the Republicans cancelled the superconducting supercollider project back in the 80s

killed big science in the US

Im from France. But nice try detective fuck whit.

Irish people say lad too and they're not british, just saying. Though that person probably is British because he's retarded.

Honestly though if you read up on the SSC it was so poorly mismanaged it would make the F-35 program look great.

And what point did i prove?

I think we discovered one SJW. Yay US Collider

We don't value science anymore.

>Coca Cola presents: the Dasani, Mc Donalds, Malboro, Chevrolet particle.

Maybe so but that wasn't the reason it was cancelled. Reagan was all over "Star Wars" even when scientists were telling him it wasn't going to work with foreseeable technology.

Kek

>killed big science in the US

the cutting edge of physics research is now back in Europe while America has the most aircraft carriers.

>ship disappear back in the 1940s.
This. Muricans can't keep secrets. Probably Switzerland nerds are tired of time traveling at this point.

Every anti america thread always devolves into everyone shitting on the brits, its a beautiful thing

nigger detected

Why should it have? The US is no where close to a center of scientific discovery and advancement contrary to what people think.

The vast majority doesn't even have fiber optic internet net.

Reddit misses you faggot.

Tell me more ROBERT

Part of it is that France uses a lot of Nuclear power. Nuclear power plants always produce the same amount of power, regardless of the season. Since French people use more power in the winter (for heating, I guess), in the spring there's tons of generator capacity that just goes to waste/is available for high energy physics research.

What the fuck are you talking about

>why?
Because the educated part of the western world, didnt like it to be placed in a third world country.

Nor have it damaged by retarded conspiracy theorist who thought it was built to make black holes to destroy the world.

GG to ameriFAGGETS who still think they're the peak of the western world. A country without puplic healthcare, free education and a serious amount of people who cant read nor do simple addition.

yea, we should totally build this in a land where people belive evolution is a conspiracy of the jews, climate change a conspiracy of the "alt left"(trump-term for non retards.) and the earth is flat.
Also: You could shoot at the accelerated particles in it with a gun, instead of another stupid particle. 'murica!

US politics won't allow this type of large scale scientific research, at least a tax payer/public funded research on this scale. Corporations, stockholders, sponsors, funding, even branding would all dig their greedy little finders in and play roles diluting the overall mission from pure science to "who do we please today" or they'd twist it into some other abomination. Not to mention the inability of the two parties unable to agree on anything - much less on science. Democrats think science is something you can throw a billion dollars at today and tomorrow get to use it for their own political agenda, and republicans think science is intellectualism/fake news that can be used against their own agenda. Both may be true, but it's same/same. Besides in America, nothing gets done unless one party can take complete credit for, while the other party takes full responsibility for it's eventual failure. The polarization of congress is the part of America that truly sucks ass.

We made many ships disappear in the 40's
WWII dumbfuck

This

>both may be true
>actually funding something
>completely denying it
Nice false equivalence Sup Forumsro

Wasn't there something about Kennedy wanting to turn the industry and economics from weapons and war to science and space?
would have been a good thing even for the people, science has employment too.
but "some" found it such a bad plan for their own interests that they would even go as far a have the fucking president assassinated.

yeah, its just one theory of many, a rather realistic one tho, sadly

Large hard-on collider
Hahahahaha. Ha.

Because ours is on the moon, phaggette

I liked the part when the uneducated Indian people started being heroes when they heard about the mini black holes. Toppest of
kek. telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/2796536/Large-Hadron-Collider-fears-prompted-Indian-suicide.html

Because there CERN had already hole in the ground fot it after LEC was disassembled and CERN created that project.

Because there is a wourld out of US

The best scientists demand a high quality of life from their employers. Not many countries that are good to live in would both help pay for it's construction and cooperate with it's neighbors enough to allow it.

They spent more money on it, we just kinda kicked a some

In short, politicians lose fewer votes canceling something like this than they do cutting back social spending 0.000001%.

It can't be powered by oil.

They just think they do. The game changed w/ SOPA, and most of them haven't gotten the memo, let alone reacted.

because you need a button for the 13th floor first to compile you murricantard faggots

And it had a badass nickname as well "Desertron" I mean come on how can you cancel that.

A three times stronger one was planned and started. They spent about 2 billion dollars digging, but then the ameritards canceled it and spent another 2 billions on filling the hole. All because ameritards are scared of science and intelligence.
