A interesting article about a monstrous particle accelerator in the monumental cold war style, abandoned at the Texas deep ground.

Good stuff. I remember reading about this when I was seven years old in Ghostbusters Magazine. They claimed it was a real-life proton pack and I wanted to visit so bad.

Basically everything on DamnInteresting is, well, damn interesting. I've been resisting going through the archives as I have real work needs doing...

With a little work and some paint, that could be the best go-cart track in the history of the universe.

Seeing the map with the GIANT oval, I have to wonder what would happen if you just filled it with copper and turned the whole thing into a giant electromagnet. Could you pull planes down from the ...

When I lived in Illinois, every single time ANYONE came to visit, we took them to FermiLab in Batavia, IL. I have to admit, it looks like the place in Texas is far more interesting with its ...

It is a neat place. It's been nearly 20 years since I was there last. I'd like to go back...I'm sure it's changed some by now.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=136&Focus=4083#Comment_4083 2007-12-04T11:49:25-08:00 2013-06-19T11:17:36-07:00 Luke http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=193

' On the other hand, the Higgs boson is interesing but not "billions of dollars we could spend on something else" interesting. '

How true. I know a guy who plays with the big machines like the Supercollider. His doctorate - on the Higgs - consisted of seven or so experimental runs, of which he got one viable result which was 'strongly indicative' of a Higgs boson.
In other words, millions of dollars and four years of his life equals a PhD in which the data wasn't even enough to draw a line on a graph.]]>
