    I support the research and advancement in particle physics, it can be used for plenty of good in society. It can be used in medicine because the particle accelerators can now be used to treat and diagnose patients all over the world. This has many benefits to society and has helped millions of people. It can also be used to protect the nation in homeland security. It can be used to scan cargo and monitor nuclear waste which can really help society. Particle collider research can be very beneficial and should be researched and funded.

    Money should not be spent to furthur study Particle Colliders. The united states economy is terrible and so money should not be wasted on information that we can live about. The information obviously has important benfits. We could feed children in ghana instead of spending money on science that is not needed. The money could go towards helping developing countries to provide water and food and items essential to live. We would unfortunately not have MRI's but kids in foreign countries are more important. The research for particles colliders is just too expensive to be worth it.

    Every year 9 billion dollars are spent on research toward particle colliding research, this money could be spent on much more productive areas. There is a large portion of our population that is debt ridden and homeless struggling to make it through these tough time. More than 40% of people in America rely on homeless shelters and community cupboards to stay afloat. If we cut the funding for CERN we could support these people in need. We would have the capability to build housing for these lost families, feed their hungry months, and build them a future. 1.5 million Children die of starvation every year.

    I agree with studying particles colliders because it will allow for advancements in technologies, medical fields and our understanding of how the world works. with a further understanding of how hadrons and leptons work and make up everything we know we can find ways to advance technology and be able to one day make things weightless using the Higgs Bozon. it can also be used in medical devices and in national security. all these things show it is worth our while to continue studying particle physics.

    I support the funding of the particle collider research. With this research, the ACE experiment has made advances in cancer treatment. This is helpful for specific types of cancer because the protons can reach the specific spots in your brain or spine. It is also helpful in children treatments because since cancer comes in all shapes and sizes, the antiproton therapy can direct the beam to be in a specific shape and target just that area of cancer instead of damaging other cells. This treatment is very effective because it deposits most of the energy at the precise depth in human tissue and can target specific places. Overall this one experiment involved in the particle c…

    I do not believe the funding of particle colliders because of the risks we can take. in fact the reconstruction of the economy in general is much more important. I do believe although in the medical advances this can bring along in things such as the MIR yet the risks outweigh it. on a different level of things we have split the atom to create an atomic bomb and now using the splitting of sub atomic particles, imagine what more damage can be done. I believe in using things to such a massive scale like this in the wrong hands could be used to be deadly. funding trillions into something that is just developing in the end is really unrealistic for the unknowns we still have …

    Every year, our government spends approximatley $9 billion to fund research for Particle Colliders. However, this is wasted money. The money that is spent on this research comes from tax payers who are unaware of where their money is being spent. This is unfair to the people, becasue while the research does have potential to do good, there has been limited progress. The reaseard that has taken place is risky and poses potential harm to its test subjects. FInally, the money that is being spent on all this research could be better used in other ways. Our nations national debt has continued to increase, and we still have no hope of paying it all off. $9 billion would be a gr…

    Particle Collider Reasearch funding should continue for multiple reasons. One reason because all of the medical success that has been achieved through this research; the use of protons and nuetron can help the treatment of cancer(www.fnal.gov). Another reason is the knowledge we can gain from it, for example understanding of outerspace. This technology can also measure cosmic rays. This is benefical to help us learn of how the surroundings around us are working. Lastly, the particle reasearch has been an active participant in industry. They use this research in power transmission cable by speeding up the protons sent. In all, this particle research funing should continue …

    Particle collider research funding should NOT continue. The extensive money spent on this research just to make very minimal steps toward actually figuring something out could be used for other, more concrete things. They're are some advantages to this research but they are very small and contribute something to only a specific area that isn't very helpful. Huge amounts of funding like this should go to things that are more tangible and realistic like education, paying off national debts, going to the poor, etc. Also, some of the experiments done and the tests there after pose harm to it's subjects because the research isn't on solid ground. Because the research is risky …

    particle colliders research is the fetcher of science. with this research we where able to find out the particles that are the balding blocks for all matter. also we where able to advance in the medical industry to help cure cancer. we were able to make faster particles accelerators to find out more about how the particles react. so by this we are able to find out more of how the universes work.

    I believe we should not continue funding for particle collision research. I think this because the research is risky and can lead to damage like microscopic black holes which their nature can be unpredictable. Also the splitting of particles and atoms have been proven to have consequences with the Atom Bomb. Also the extreme amount of funding for these projects which in all don't have an effect on our daily lives is substantial. This money could be used for more mandatory needs. That is why I don't think we should continue funding on particle colliders.

    Particle Collider Research is essential to the world and the advancement of science alike. We should continue funding this because it has created advancements; such as treating cancer patients. While on the medical side of this, tracking technology used for particle physics is now used to see in a patient. This is called an MRI. Lastly how wouldn't want a freaking hoverboard?! Finding the Higgs Boson could allow us to actually become the future in Back to the Future. Particle colliders and accelerators need to be funded because this is key research that will benefit society and advance our scientific knowledge.

    We should continue particle collider research funding because of its positive contributions to society. Particle research has had a huge impact on the medical world. by creating a device that can accelerate protons to the highest of speeds, they can use this to view the human brain through MRIs and do cancer research. Also, projects like the AMS project which detects unkown and anitmatter can allow people to discover new parts of outer space and aid in new space research and technology. another application of this research is in biomedical labs to explore the structure of protiens and create medicine that can cure disease. This particle collision research has had an overa…

    Particle colliders are good because scientists have been able to discover the building blocks of all things. particle accelerators led to discovery of the quarks, advacnes in the medical industry, discoveries iin astrophysics. It has led to the discorvery of the higgs boson which is though to be the cause of gravity. this could lead to fuel less space travel which would expand our horizons.

    During my driving lesson, we went from a side road onto the highway. This relates to physics because the horizontal acceleration of the car changed quickly. However, the vertical acceleration stayed the same because of gravity. Gravity on Earth is always 9.81 meters per second squared down.

    Amazing! simply Amazing!, students at Irondequoit High School have recently calculated the acceleration of an object due to gravity. they were able to do this through a specialized lab in which one student held a ball to the ceiling while the other measured the distance to the floor. they then timed how long it took the ball to fall to the floor using a stopwatch. after finding the average time of three trials the students used a kinematic equation to find the acceleration of the ball( d=ViT +1/2(A)(T)^2). once found the acceleration was used in the percent error equation to find the difference between the calculated value and the accepted value(9.81m/s^2). There have be…

  25. BREAKING NEWS: Young Irondequoit High School Students Do the Unthinkable Using only a tape measure, ball and stopwatch, students determine the acceleration due to gravity. Doing multiple trials to come up with accurate data; they came up with an acceleration of 9.77 m/s^2. With only a .41 percent error, teachers are amazed and proud of the accomplishments made. Physics teacher Dan Fullerton states, "I'm very surprised, I wouldn't have been able to do this." How it was done seems quiet simple yet interesting. Dropping a ball from 2 meters high, timing how long the fall took and using the formula a = 2d/t^2... the students made it look easy. We are waiting for further i…
