meh SSC > LHC
Fucking Clinton, we would've found the Higgs boson years ago.
Since this is the book forum, there's an EXCELLENT book built around the tragic loss of the American
SSC called
Einstein's Bridge, written by
John Cramer a celebrated particle physicist who was witness to the liberal betrayal of American Science.
The money saved for closing what could've been the greatest scientific monument since the Library of Alexandria was then used to subsidize life-affirming things like hemp research, college admission quotas, and making sure that people who dropped out of grade school to pursue a life lived under heroin get a fair shake at your children's job.
Like practically every other published American physicist, Cramer now works at CERN.
