LHC failure

This title is a bit exaggerating. Actually, it was the magnet that failed and was damaged. See here.

I just learned a little thing about the structure of general accelerators yesterday. Experimental physics is tough, at least for me. It is too complicated and serious due to the close relationship with reality. Physics is dealing with reality, but I would like those simple things behind reality rather than reality itself. That’s why I choose theoretical physics.

Best wishes to LHC. The whole world is waiting for you. I am not. I have learned too little to ride on the tide. I am just going with my own pace.
