Super Collider About To Go Online
It could have been us. I read a news article a few days ago talking about the LHC or Large Hadron Collider (see related links for wiki article) is about to go online. Most folks probably won’t remember but the US was going to build something along the same lines in the area south of Dallas. I worked for several months as a consultant for the company in Austin that was making the magnets for the project. Due to budget issues, the US decided they could only support one of two major science projects: either the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) or the International Space Station.
The space station won. Look how much good that has done us.
Now the future of particle research will take place outside of our country’s borders. I’m very dissappointed.
