Each bigger one has in fact solved more of physics, after being built precisely because there was a good theoretical case for a higher energy collider being helpful.
replyI’m ignorant. It’s a meme about their optics being terrible after steam ran out for 90s science optimism.
replyAs somebody slightly better informed (physics degree, following popular science): It really isn't looking great for something that could be found at a small multiple of current energies, but not at current energies.
