RE: A crash course on particle physics (towards our steemSTEM meetup at CERN) - 6 - pushing the frontiers further with particle accelerators
Thanks for the great post
A question though, when you write, "An electric field will induce a force parallel to it, while a magnetic field will induce a force perpendicular to the velocity and the field."
Isn't electricity and magnetism manifestations of one-in-the-same force?
Just wondering?

You are right: you have two component to the electromagnetic field: an electric field and a magnetic field. These two induce forces that behave differently. The electric field will induce a force parallel to it and the magnetic field a force that is perpendicular both to the field and to to the motion of the particle. Therefore, the magnetic field will change the direction on which the particle is moving.
Instead of smashing random particles together to obtain everytime new infinite particles, the most important phenomenon in science of all should be investigated instead: "Electricity"...
Everyone knows how to use it but no one has come with an explanation to what it is. The only person who came close to an answer is Nikola Tesla, the father of Alternating Current.
Unfortunately, all his papers are being hidden from public view and if "some" infomation have been released... like the recent interview, it has been modified. Same case with the bible...
Well...
Electricity is known for ages... What do you want to learn from there? Also, what does infinite particle mean?
In fact, I have no clue what you are talking about... Sorry.
There's an infinite amount of numbers, therefore there is an infinite amount of particles... same applies to everything you see and cannot see.
Instead of smashing stones to see infinitely other smaller stones... they should investigate/practice something more important than that old procedure.
Electricity has been known for ages yes... but only its phenomenons... its physical appearence and behaviour... no one has come to explain it to what it is... where does it come from... Different phenomena can be seen if you are combining direct current with alternating current or seperately independent of eachother setting them at different frequencies/vibrations, intensities, high/low voltages...
Electricity = Energy.
But where does it come from... what is it? how can you explain the basic phenomena in terms of properties?
To produce electric current, you need a good conductor such as copper and a rotative magnet to rip off/extract current (electricity) from the magnet's magnetic field and deviate/transform/store it into a "recipient/machine"...
That's all there is to produce electricity and use it... but again, what is it?...
Our brain uses electricity by sending impulses to our limbs to control them, same as with other animals, including plants... Everything is electricity...
No one is really looking into it to discover more than we already know...
About the LHC; Everything and anything have advantages and disadvantages so it might be useful in some cases but it really isn't that much of help to our progress in terms of finding patterns...
Well, this is not what we are doing...
Electricity is contrast very well understood at its most fundamental level. Please check is called quantum electrodynamics or QED. This may be a good starting point.
