|content=1/ [[Sabine Hossenfelder]] has done an impressive job collecting and rebutting the arguments for building a new particle accelerator. I find them partially convincing. Let me give the big reasons that no one ever mentions as they are not in her list.

I) The physics community gave us both the hydrogen bomb and the Einsteinian speed limit. Humans who acquire the Bomb never lose the ability to make them and they only get cheaper with technology. Further, the speed limit of 'c' traps us on three rocks: Earth, Moon and Mars.

The combination of these twin gifts likely doom humanity over the long run unless we can, somehow, get around the speed of light 'c'. For that we will need to make physics a *top* priority unless we want to pretend we are going to become wise, colonize Titan, etc..etc..

II) Theoretical physics practically created the modern economy: 

Chemistry</br>
Semiconductors/Transistors</br>
World Wide Web</br>
Electrification</br>
Wireless</br>
Nuclear Power/Weapons</br>
Molecular Biology

These are not simply taxpayer dollars. They began as [[Physics Dollars]]. We are being absurd.

|content=End/ 

III) We are at the end of this thread...but also at the end of what may be the last chapter of physics. The three main equations (Dirac, Einstein, Yang Mills) are provably, in some sense, the best possible. No one would walk out just before learning the end of our story.

|content=I) Not exactly FTL...but that is fair from what I wrote. I was using shorthand. Guilty. 

II) No. We have obligations to this community. We don't allow them to fully participate so they have economic rights that we are abusing. This is a foreign idea to most. 

III) No: Meaning.

|content=Curious... I just reviewed the 'Dirac Sea' issue last night.

@EricRWeinstein , could you 'lightly' outline the 'provably the best possible' claim? w/o definitions for dark matter/ energy/ fluid, etc. how can we be near the end of the 'story'? thx

|content=Briefly: 
A) Dirac operator actually generates K-theory. 

B) Einstein theory from Hilbert Lagrangian is simplest possible Lagrangian in pseudo-riemannian geometry (just scalar curvature).

C) YangMills Lagrangian simplest in Ehresmannian geometry (just norm square of curvature).
