"There is virtually no chance that we will be able to do experiments involving processes at particle energies like 1016 GeV. With current technology the diameter of an accelerator is proportional to the energy given to the accelerated particles. To accelerate particles to an energy of 1016 GeV would require an accelerator a few light-years across."
