alt Hacker NewsGiven that you can do a lot more research in different fields at the same time for the amount of money the next bigger particle accellerator would cost, the answer is very likely yes.

Not a physicist, but I think building state of the art particle accelerators probably requires doing a lot of research in many different fields
Ok, which field? How much money will be needed? What potential experiments are lined up in those fields that need money to go forward?
Particle physics has told us a lot about the base nature of our model and the affirmation of the standard model. The fruits of these labors still take decades to make their mark on our world.
And, we still are working on those other things at the same time too. It turns out with 8 billion people on the planet and modern technology we can get an absolute fuckload done at once.
