, given there's no guarantee that it would lead to any groundbreaking discoveries. That money, Hossenfelder believes, would be better spent fighting climate change or — ahem — devastating new disease outbreaks.hasn't progressed much since the 1990s, the main way to make more powerful facilities is to simply make them larger.
While the "cost of these colliders has ballooned, their relevance has declined," Hossenfelder wrote in
