LHC - CERN: Interview of an unusual zen master

[gregoirdefaoite]

zen surely arises out of the harmony of body, mind and SPIRIT. namely pneuma. Am I that much off message or am I right in observing that this mans breath emphasises absense of pneuma and a preponderance of concentrated projection to a fascinating track in the forest

as the whole Cern thing suggests?

If each hadron is travelling at 99.9% light speed, does that mean that the collision is just under 2 light speed?

[daarco2]

@rockbore Im afraid not. Relativity does not allow that in normal circumstances. The speed of light is constant. Always 1. Even as in this case, 1 + 1 is now just 1.

And what they are doing is trying to increase the speed, but all speed transform into mass instead. So the particles get heavier and heavier instead.

So instad of "2 lightspeed" you will have maybe 1000 times more energy instead (at same speed).
