What if they added smaller loops along the main loop, like a roller coaster with loopdy-loops? ๐Ÿค”

There will be.

Colliders work best at specific speeds, like gears on a car. The big collider is fed by a smaller one. That one is likely fed by an even smaller one. Eventually, you get small enough that a simple linear accelerator can get the gas up to speed.

Oh, and likely a scientist/engineer grinning manically as they "push the trigger" on the largest rail gun in existence.

Even the ones not pushing the trigger on the biggest rail gun in existence do this.

The doctors do too. It's... Concerning if you don't know why they get so excited.

The difference between science, and blowing shit up, is in the recording.

Now that you've said this I want to know if other shapes without corners are possible

But also why do they need a bigger collider
