I will however write this: A proton is guided by RF-cavities and bending magnets around the circuit in the LHC. If the speed of the proton wasn't exactly right (slightly less than c) the RF-cavities wouldn't work because each cavity has to be in the right phase when the proton passes it, and the bending magnets wouldn't guide the proton around the bends because the deflection of the proton is strongly dependent on its speed. I do indeed understand what you are saying. You are saying that when the physicists drifting the LHC know that a proton has went around the circuit once, it has really went around the circuit 6933 times. This is an incredible stupid claim, and it is hard to believe that a sane person can believe so. Your "theory" isn't even wrong, it is only incoherent nonsense. Enough now! -- Paul https://paulba.no/
