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. ]]> Trashing the Superconducting Supercollider http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=136&Focus=4083#Comment_4083 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=136&Focus=4083#Comment_4083 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 11:49:25 -0800 Luke Trashing the Superconducting Supercollider http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=136&Focus=4497#Comment_4497 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=136&Focus=4497#Comment_4497 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:27:18 -0800 Cat Vincent ' 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. ]]>
