Well it comes to the theories themselves I understand they have certain eV ranges. Are these ranges gigantic ? I read somewhere that while the current large hadron detector has constrained Large Extra dimensions. It still seems to suggest that the possible eV Range of detections of what I assume is either branes or some kind of extra dimensions goes all the way from 3TeV which is what apparently we have checked so far goes possibly up to the GUT scale itself.

Does that mean unless we build some kind of Gigantic particle collider that is somehow the distance of Earth to Mars. We may very well never reach these scales for possibly centuries? Can you observe certain phenomenon at those scales with telescopes from some mechanism. I’m sorry if I’m asking a billion questions this stuff is just amazing to me.

How likely could that be? And the range of the next colliders only go up like 1 I order of magnitude from what I understand. Far away from what the GUT scale might be: I only ask because I was reading about criticisms of new particle colliders and some physicists believe if the next collider is anything below like 200TeV it won’t be worth the money as it’s essentially guessing in the dark.

And also the same physics said that only use would be to rule out theories that are more likely than not false.
