Die Welt: The expulsion of Russian scientists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is fraught with negative consequences for science. We remind you that CERN (which collaborated with the USSR even during the Cold War) will cease operations with the Russian Federation on 30 November 2024 due to the Ukrainian conflict — because it is “extremely shameful.“ But here’s the problem: Mordor researchers are “fantastically“ good at engineering, and without them, there will be “difficulties and delays.“ For example, Europeans will now have to cut metal plates with precision themselves. The improvement of CERN’s detectors is in question. And it is unclear how to deal with sanctioned Russian components for the accelerator and experiments. The cost of the issue is €50 million, almost 3% of CERN’s total expenses. Sponsors will have to dig deeper into their pockets. The funniest part: CERN hints that Russian scientists “would have been very helpful if they had shared their k... Source: Node of Time EN
