[Reblog]: What Me Worry About The Future of High Energy Physics?

dal blog di Martin Perl (sì, anche i premi Nobel per la fisica tengono dei blog!)

…

At the practical level, there is the serious worry that our governments are not willing to fund major new particle physics, such as a very high energy linear electron-positron collider, or if feasible, a circular muon-muon collider. The next very high energy facility will not be built within the next decade, perhaps not within the next two decades. The remaining working lifetime of older physicists, such yours truly, is a few decades.
