Electrons are the right subatomic particle
Well, there you have a very important principle wrapped up in that question.
There's actually no such thing as a real, actual amount of potential energy.
There's only potential <em><u>relative to some place</u></em>. It's the work you have to do
to lift the object from that reference place to wherever it is now. It's also
the kinetic energy the object would have if it fell down to the reference place
from where it is now.
Here's the formula for potential energy: PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em><u>height</u></em><u>)</u> .
So naturally, when you use that formula, you need to decide "height above what ?"
If you're reading a book while you're flying in a passenger jet, the book's PE is
(M x G x 0 meters) relative to your lap, (M x G x 1 meter) relative to the floor of the
plane, (M x G x 10,000 meters) relative to the ground, and maybe (M x G x 25,000 meters)
relative to the bottom of the ocean.
Let's say that gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
Then a 4kg block sitting on the floor has (39.2 x 0 meters) PE relative to the floor
it's sitting on, also (39.2 x 3 meters) relative to the floor that's one floor downstairs,
also (39.2 x 30 meters) relative to 10 floors downstairs, and if it's on the top floor of
the Amoco/Aon Center in Chicago, maybe (39.2 x 345 meters) relative to the floor
in the coffee shop that's off the lobby on the ground floor.
Answer:
Humanity's "big science" experiments like the "Large Hadron Collider (LHC)" are by themselves not problems to be condemned. They show man's unending quests for answers: to discover their environment and its origin. Similar philosophical quests were summed up by St. Augustine, who noted that "our souls are restless until they find rest in GOD."
Humanity will continue such experiments, the costs notwithstanding, until we come to faith in Yahweh, who is the creator of heaven and earth and in His Son. When that faith is attained, our understanding will become complete. We can then divert the billions to discover the future and not the past.
Explanation:
That scientists are spending billions of dollars on the "Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe is a necessary evil. Such billions of dollars are actually the required costs to acquire more knowledge about the created universe. But, ordinary knowledge puffs. It is only divine knowledge backed up by Faith in the Savior of the universe that is the antidote to prideful knowledge.
The earthsky.org says that "the most significant discovery to come from the LHC so far is the discovery of the Higgs boson (or the “God particle”) in 2012." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman referred to the Higgs boson as the "God d..n Particle." While he was intending to describe how difficult it was to detect the particle, he did not realize that he was 100% correct in the naming. This discovered elementary particle (otherwise named the Higgs boson or the "God particle") proves that the particle force energy primarily originates from God.
Without God, there is no primary particle force energy which can give rise to the "big bang" theory. God is that "invisible, universe-wide field that gave mass to all matter right after the Big Bang, forcing particles to coalesce into stars, planets, and everything else," according to Peter Higgs and Francois Englert (1964). God also caused the Big Bang.
