If you are interested in my private research about the direction of the Wow! signal, you can find it on free hosting infinityfree. Please note, the website is still under construction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics The list is getting longer and longer. How many of those questions are you planning to eliminate in the 'near future'? Have a nice day.

I am only trying to describe what I experienced long time ago. If you have a problem with this, I can only say that 'the science' on this small planet is in the middle of nowhere. And my intention is not to discourage the scientific world. I stop here, as requested and leave you some food for thought.

Ten years ago I asked the question about 'is the LHC worth it and whether it can solve the problems of particle physics'. Measuring smaller interactions at some insane energy levels is such a challenge, that the entire global GDP may not be enough to touch the 'bottom' of this Universe. I have no doubt that in ten years from now I will push my question to a higher level.

Given my experience, if related to the Wow! signal of course, the frequency received by a narrow-band radio receiver is only an 'impression' of the actual transmission. Those who created us are capable of placing photons in 3D space-time is such a way, that our brains can receive the contents. However, any radio receiver will only get some narrow-band 'buzz'. If you look at the printout of the Wow! signal (the entire page), you can easily see what I mean.

Placing a small transmitter on a drone to simulate the Wow! signal makes sense only to certain extent. TX on 1420 MHz band is prohibited by international and local laws anyway. My private research suggests, that the signal was sent from a distant place in our galaxy and a massive power was used. You can laugh now, but the math around it I was just playing with gave me numbers I cannot read properly. In my opinion those who created us are on a higher level in this Universe. Perhaps some civilization of type 2?

This thread is about the LHC costs of operation. The LHC project has no positive impact on my life so far. As far as The LHC is a very good example of the above. Many people clearly see, that building even bigger particle smasher should happen sooner rather than later. This will create another level of financial and technological challenges. Do you think your capabilities are as big as the Universe?
-
My personal opinion is based on three decades of observations in the area of particle physics. As the scientific world approaches the end of its capabilities, more and more problems and questions arise. If there are plans to build even bigger particle smasher, is this going exponentially? Was the main purpose of the LHC to confirm predictions of the Standard Model and find the Higgs boson? I think the most fundamental laws of the Universe are very simple.
-
Indeed, I am asking questions. Because I do not know answers. From my little perspective, of a small EU taxpayer, whose country donates money to this project, I am a bit worried. Things are getting bigger and more powerful and there are plans to build even a bigger particle smasher? Are you people crazy? Or perhaps there is something wrong with your theories? If theoretical physics is ahead of experimentally confirmed theories, which seems to be the case, there is a question of how far you want to go down this path. So far the LHC project is not that successful, in my opinion. If it did not costed billions I would not have a problem with it. There are high expectations in regard to this monster project.

I hoped to have some serious discussion here about the LHC costs and if such costs make any sense. Is there any official data available about the public money spent on the project so far? I am unable to find it that easily. Any help would be appreciated. Some articles on the Internet suggest that the LHC costs about 1 billion euros per year. Is this official data?
-
Within two decades the LHC consumed lots of money. Is it worth the money already spent on it? Is there a way to evaluate this gigantic project? If yes, what criteria should be applied? What is the total cost since the beginning of this project?

Many decades of scientific research in the area of particle and quantum physics did not manage to bring this civilization to a higher level in terms of energy efficiency. There are many smaller and bigger labs around the world trying to make a scientific breakthrough. A small team of scientists following their own path, in my opinion, has better chances of making a significant scientific discovery. At least if they fail the financial 'damage' is not that big. I know that many people will never agree to the above. To support my point of view please take a look at the LHC and how much it already costed. Do you think it is really worth the money already spent on it? Besides, a small team of scientific and enthusiastic nerds is worth more than thousands of people following the same way of thinking and waiting for a coffee break. I think last couple of decades is the best argument to support my point of view. And scientific forums full of unanswered questions and weird theories make many young people doubt in trying to follow what is going on.

I must apologize here for my terrible English language skills. I never had a chance to learn this language properly. I am neither an expert in this area nor a scientist of some sort. Do you really think for another 30 years there will be no progress in 'fusion' technology? By the way, is there already an official name assigned to such 'non-existing' technology? In my opinion a few reactors are already under construction and will be operational soon, to tackle constantly growing global energy crisis.

Is there any alternative to nuclear energy? Long term, nuclear energy creates more problems than solutions. For many decades mankind has been trying to develop more efficient way of producing energy and tackle nuclear waste. Many scientific teams around the world hope to make some progress in this area. Billions of taxpayers money are being pumped into the research every year. Is there any chance for nuclear fussion technology to power our homes and businesses in the near future? Is there any chance for nuclear power plants to become obsolete? I want to start a serious discussion here about our future on this small planet. This thread is especially dedicated to those of you, who are enthusiastic about atomic energy and energy crisis.

Well, you mention my private amateur radio website. Yeah, I described what I experienced in my childhood there. There is however another website dedicated to calculations I am trying to complete. Hence my initial post. If there is anybody interested in doing the math, let me know. I need a radio astronomer ideally.
