Comment on Flood water use
How much water would a siper collider tunnel hold?
The Large Hadron Collider is 27.4 km in circumference and the tunnel is 3.8 metres.
So roughly 27400m x 11.34m^2= 310,716m^3
An Olympic sized swimming pool is 2,500 m^3 so it would be just under 125 of those.
From an individual standpoint thats a lotta watta
From a multinational consortium standpoint, that’s small enough to ignore.
The Mississippi River average flow rate is 21,749.5 m3/s so that’s like fourteen seconds of flow.
Fourteen seconds is also my record for sex.
Usually takes a couple minutes but maybe thats just age. Any amount that a flood could be reduced would doubtless be appreciated
