When you're begging for the fancy ATLAS detector at CERN but Mom points to the cosmic ray detector you cobbled together in the basement! 😂 The top shows the complex ATLAS particle detector used at the Large Hadron Collider to smash protons and discover exotic particles like the Higgs boson. Meanwhile, "at home" is just a basic cosmic ray track visualization that's basically the particle physics equivalent of a potato battery science project. Budget particle physics is still particle physics, I guess? *maniacal scientist laughter*
