RE: Live from CERN - no more clouds in the LHC tunnel
This is a great article, my friend.
I am very interested in what is going on at CERN and this article came along at just the right time.
Not sure where I read or saw something about a HUGE collider they started building in the US, Texas I think. The ring was something like 100 miles. It was abandoned.
Ever hear of it?
upvoted and resteemed!
You may be talking about the SSC project that was indeed abandoned long ago. The ring was actually expected to be smaller (50 miles roughly). The project was abandoned because the US government of that time preferred to fund military stuff, if I am not wrong (this was before my time). The wikipedia page is a good start to get more information about it.
So I wasn't dreaming then.
Thanks for the info!
My pleasure! :)
