Yeah, I hope so.
I hope that's true.
I mean, I'm not a politician and I'm not a sociologist,
But I do think that understanding the universe is something that brings us all together.
We're all curious.
We all want new answers.
And I've worked with people from, I think, 172 different countries.
And we're all just people.
We're all just curious about the universe, right?
It definitely brings us together.

Every 24 nanoseconds, we read out 100 million channels of data about the collision.
Wow.
And so it's an enormous tsunami of data.
Why do you throw it away?
Because you already know what it is or because... It's too much to ever analyze.
Like we couldn't effectively store it to tape and search it.
And also most of it's boring.
Like mostly what happens when you collide protons is they bounce off each other and stay protons.
Yawn, we've seen that a million times.
