How do you know that that effect couldn’t be demonstrated in some smaller scale experiment after it’s understood better? discuss order hn newest T-A|22 days ago Effective field theoryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_field_theorydemonstrably works up to the electroweak scale, which requires an LHC-sized machine to probe. pfdietz|20 days ago Effective field theory involves things like the BCS theory of superconductivity, which is of course based on small scale experiments. load replies (1) pfdietz|22 days ago Can you tell me of an example where that has happened? I can't think of any.
