Remember the Super conductor super collider? Not sure if CERN is exactly the same thing but the SCSC was supposed to be a very cheap source of energy.

There is another one in Sweden that is smaller than what was planned for the SCSC called CERN. Very interesting video.

I thought at the time the SCSC was going to produce energy sort of like a nuclear reactor but have found that it was destined to be a research device.

Glad we cleared that up.

Guess the subject is a bit too deep for the "Fire.

You can't compete with that - wait for the excitement to die down, then give it another whirl.

I quit reading when you said the SSC was supposed to have been a cheap source of energy.

If this is appealing to you, check out the James Webb Space Telescope from NASA. The first photos will be coming this month.

The SCSC was talked about as being a source of energy at the time. In fact I could see how smashing atoms together might create some energy, even by accident.

I was in the supercollider area by Waxahachie when it was going and being built.

Cousin had a ranch there. It was busy.

We shot a lot of hogs there. smile

CERN accelerates and collides particles of an atom, protons and electons.

Who said it would be a cheap source of energy?

"The spectroscopy of hadrons containing b quarks in general, and the Ξb family especially, still hides many secrets. During the LHC Run 3, which is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2022, a new large statistics data sample will be collected. Even ten times more data will be when the future High-Luminosity LHC begins in 2027. These future LHC runs will allow us to not only search for the new Ξb states and confirm those observed so far by the LHCb Collaboration, but also perform measurements of their properties, which is crucial for the identification of their place in the framework of the Constituent Quark Model."

tldr: "We don't know wtf we're doin, but we're gonna get paid for another ten years ta play with this toy."

CERN is very cool, but what it’s probing- the nature of reality at the quantum level- is not Campfire material. Well, other than spinning up some BS conspiracies about it I suppose.

The Higgs boson was the big CERN win. Now, they go fishing... it’ll be fascinating to see what they catch.


The CENTER will hold.

I worked on the super Collider headquarters in Waxahachie. Headquarters were not in Waxahache itself. It was a good long ways from town. The collider was huge. Does anybody know how much land was bought up only to be abandoned? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was 30 square miles? It was well on its way to being completed. Does anyone know why it was abandoned? They definitely wasted more money than it would have cost to come complete it. Same way with the border fence.

That's what I'm sayin!!
