That is my assessment and it didn’t make sense to end the progress that already had been made. The fact that CERN completed the project shows the interest and value. I know of a couple of people that worked on the project as well, one is my pastor’s wife.
Wow, send me a private with her name. We (my wife) still keep in touch with some of the ppl who worked there, and still live in the area of Waxahachie, etc., south of Dallas.
The SSCL machine was designed to be far more powerful than the CERN machine, and any collider machine on earth, but who knows if that would have made any difference-one would think so, though.
