Remember, the majority of Republicans and a handful of Democrats worked with Clinton to kill the Superconducting Supercollider...
if its really worthwhile, private sector would have built it...

Among the first projects, some of those (idiot) savants have in mind:
Creating an artificial black hole. You know, the kind that eat literally everything - even light.
Right here. On Earth. Just below ground level.
What could *possibly* go wrong?...

I know quantum physcists have tried for over a decade to colide two crtain kind of particles head on, because something special is suppose to happen, but so far no luck. I did the same when I was a kid, but I didn't grow up to be a quantum physicist.

I couldn’t afford a super-collider myself and Radio Shack was out of them anyway. So I went with the Tandy Less-Than-Super Collider.Desktop or portable?
In a few years, apple will have one and then everyone will think it's cool.

What could *possibly* go wrong?... a) they could find out that the idea is mythical, and be made to look like fools;
b) they could discover that, like "artificial life," it cannot be "created" -- in fact, is an oxymoron.
c) they could short circuit the thing and create a 17 mile crater....
d)....

You all haven’t got an Icollider yet?
Hahaha, got mine at Best Buy.

I might have to do like the Eagle, and get the IcolliderShuffle.

Cosmic particles still collide at much higher energies, so if the black hole catastrophe is possible it would have happened by now.

That might be ITER, the fusion reactor to be built in France. This project seems to be fully European.
