Particles physicists are a funny breed - they seem to have moved away from basic science into the realm of abstract mathematical junk and metaphysics - their ignorance of reality can only be matched by the size of the detectors they want the tax payer to pay for.
Bigger detectors, longer underground tunnels, higher and higher energies to produce larger and fatter "particles" which they themselves claim to be local artifacts of "fields". They are really just interested in fields.
Giant fat particles that vanish at almost the same instance of their fabrication leaving residual waste to be detected by skyscraper sized detectors.
Nobody dares asks the question "what do you think you will find if you had an unlimited energy supply in an infinitely long evacuated circuit"??
How fat would the particle be??
Reductionist madness feeding the lunatic Physics fringe market
