      The problem is a train needs to transport humans, whereas the collider just needs to transport teeny tiny particles and keep a receipt of their arrival.

        The particle collider also doesn’t need to ensure the safety of the particles. Frankly, if it did it would be a rather shitty collider.

          I do love the image of scientists constructing little half buckyball helmets that they lovingly wrap around a lead atom before yeeting it to .9995% the speed of light
