RE: Dark matter signals at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

in StemSocial2 years ago

imagine if all the lab equipment that collects data has hardware blockchain ledger chips so you cant tampor with it is what i mean

like UN weapons inspectors style

so science cant be faked

eos is the thing teh steem / hive creator @dan larimer made for smart contracts and telos is an eosio chain liek a sister fork sorta, but not a fork

telos very science friendly we could get science funded using telos grants and proposals instead of the federal government one day

ooooh whata revolutionary idea i know lol

As I said, blockchains are useful, but they cannot solve any problem. I still keep to my words. I do not see what is the advantage of a chain compared with other methods.

For many scientific experimental devices (this is the relevant part when data taking is at stake), dedicated (centralised) infrastructures are often more suitable. For instance, for the LHC, see here. If you take Virgo/Ligo (gravitational waves), data is released 1.5 years after being taken so that anyone can use it and check it (see here).

Those are two examples I have in mind. For anything else that is not particle-physics-related, I of course cannot tell.
