7000mph? lol...


Am I missing something here?


Yes you are. 7000mph is absurdly slow.

LHC Peoples


Once or twice a day, as the protons are accelerated from 450 GeV to 7 TeV, the field of the superconducting dipole magnets will be increased from 0.54 T to 8.3 T. The protons will each have an energy of 7 TeV, giving a total collision energy of 14 TeV (2.2 μJ). At this energy the protons have a Lorentz factor of about 7,500 and move at about 99.999999% of light speed.



99.999999% of the speed of light would mean the particles are traveling at 670,633,494 mph. Now do you see why I laughed at your claim of 7000mph? 7000mph Would be if they had two space shuttles about halfway to break-orbit speed crashing into each other. That would produce many 7000mph particle collisions.

Also I understand they are just in test run phase and are not running all out but 7000mph is bogglingly slow for particle physics.
