I hope you will excuse me for whizzing by, I'll take my time but that will be never. So, I guess I'll see you in the future, hahahahaha, excellent postulation @yaziris!
I believe that time is created by man, in his mind and imagination, so I agree 1000% with you, but you can't ask just anyone, as their particle field may just be empty.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this!!! It was this or food, and that just makes my hungry, and I don't have time for that now, maybe yesterday. Or never. hahahahaha!!!

I forgot to add that I believe we still have a mile long particle accelerator up the road here at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. I believe they changed the name though, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

You're most welcome to whizz by this space any time you like! @jamerussell

So glad you enjoyed reading this, knowing this, made my yesterday. 😁

Yes, that's true. 2 miles long. Generally speaking though, I think the US has been "SLAC"ing in their support to particle physics and the build of higher energy accelerators. Lol

I wrote that it was a mile, we were all told that growing up, and I believe you are correct, it's 2 miles long. I remember this growing up as well; it's up off of Sand Hill Road by Palo Alto, and I remember there is a lake up there called Diamond Lake that is north of there. That facility has been there since the early 60s I believe, and operated since 1966. And I also believe you're probably correct about being lax about the support of a whole lot of things, but as a side-note, not lax about support in the wrong things in this time period.

Oh, you'd know better than me about that for sure.
I go by what I read online about it, so I'm not sure, it says this on their Wikipedia page:

located in Menlo Park, California. It is the site of the Stanford Linear Accelerator, a 3.2 kilometer (2-mile) linear accelerator constructed in 1966 and shut down in the 2000s, which could accelerate electrons to energies of 50 GeV.

I did not know that they had shut down in the 2000s, wow, well, now I know hahahahahahaha!
Learn something new everyday!
Couldn't have come at a better time!!! hahahahahahaha!!!

That wiki page is a bit messy regarding timelines. LOL
I think the name change was in the 2000s (2008) so they considered it as a "shutdown" of the previously named one. The facility itself seems still operational till this day, but they consider it as a new lab or something.

I told you, you'd know better than me or even that wiki page, it might even be 1 mile as you first mentioned, just expanded with the universe over the years. 😋

Hahahahaha, yeah, that's it! It grew exponentially!
Well, I know this, that it started out to be a mile long, but the particles are accelerated so fast that it pushed it out another mile, and yes, it is 2 miles long hahahahaha; you were correct!
I'll do a little research on it, and let you know just for general information.
