China’s plan to construct what would be the world’s new largest particle collider, pending major funding hurdles, is becoming more clear after a technical design report was submitted for the estimated $5.2 billion project. The 100-kilometer Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is meant to rival CERN’s plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) in Europe and would require only three years to complete following its potential commencement in 2027.
Scientific American informs us: “Many of the components that are planned for China’s mega machine are already being tested at other facilities in the country [...] Given that China is already home to a collider that is similar to the CEPC — the Beijing Electron Positron Collider — [and] IHEP might now have more expertise in this area than does CERN.”

is anyone watching 3 Body Problem? I’m really, really enjoying it. No spoilers, please, I still have two episodes to go.
The "original" Tencent one or the Netflix one? I've yet to watch either, heard the former is better/more authentic to book...
