I bet you won't answer this question!

Are you kidding me?

You claim that the protons in the LHC are moving

with the speed  6927⋅c, and you claim that each proton
is moving around the ring 78 million times per second.
 Absolutly.
 And? If you want to know the observation of things, you must use the notion of observable speed, using the distance in the laboratory and the time measured by the desynchronized clocks in the laboratory.
If you want to know the reality of things, you have to take the distance traveled in the laboratory, and the correctly measured time which is that of the proton (he only has a watch). It's very unintuitive, I know. But things are like that.
It's so counter-intuitive that if I ask the particle to make a complete revolution, it starts from A and returns to A, we'll say to ourselves: "It's okay, I only have one watch!". And yet we make a mistake, it is the same physical watch, of course, but it is no different from two watches placed at A and at B, and whose straight line would have been curved so that B coincides at A.
