Wasn't the United States in the process of constructing a super large particle accelerator somewhere in Texas...

[Random Variable]

until the federal government decided to stop funding the project? Or am I hallucinating again?

 

[Czar]

I hope they were, and I hope they still are

 

[Dually]

They were building two, one in Texas and one in Michigan. The Michigan one was allmost completed when they canceled it and they canceled the Texas one last year.

You're not being serious, are you?

I was not aware of the one in Michigan. Was it going to be just as large?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

Yes, we were, but not anymore. Now the tunnels are just giant fire ant farms.

 

[fastz28]

Yeah, superconductor supercollider or something like that. Somewhere around Waco I think.

 

[Random Variable]

And why did we stop funding the project? Was it just the cost or where there other reasons?

 

[Ns1]

why'd we stop again? something about the possibility of destroying the earth or something? lol sorry i ferget

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

The quit working on the supercollider because the scientists decided it was more fun to roll pennies down the funnel at the mall.

 

[Slacker]

They probably stopped because of the giant fire ants.

LOL

 

[Time2Kill]

If I remember correctly, that was the thing with the possibility of creating s small black hole(but big enough to engulf earth) that would keep growing and growing.

 

[dc]

now in my mind are images of engineers fighting with 8 foot tall ants straight out of a sci-fi horror flick. lol

 

[Spikesoldier]

it is in Waxahachie (sp?) texas. I recall that a while back, its a shame.

 

[conjur]

Them

 

[ByteMe]

They canceled it a lonnng while ago due to costs I believe. The cost of maintaining it was in the $100's of millions per year!

But around the same time they caneled it we entered in a joint agreement with some other countries to help build one in Europe. I believe they started building it years ago.

The Europeans weren't satisfied with the one being constructed in this country?

 

[Wallydraigle]

Just because it's not on the books anymore doesn't mean it got cancelled

"You don't think they actually pay thirty thousand dollars for a toilet seat, or twenty thousand for a hammer do you?"

 

[extro]

If they built one here, the scientists wouldn't have an excuse to go to Geneva to play with their super collider.

hell yes, science is a good thing whoever does it
