it hopes will eventually unlock the secrets of the origins of the universe. I can save them lots of $$s..."In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Just what some scientists don't want to hear. ;-)

It's about fricking time, when Bush 41 cut the funding to the original I got a little miffed, but hopefully this one will stay funded.

a central part of a "how things began" program Maybe a central part of getting a little closer to "how things began." They'll never get to the first instant. Just closer.

when Bush 41 cut the funding to the original Yes, same here, and I was actually working on the proposal. Short-sighted = Washington DC

Ah, yes, that one, hey, goddidit, you DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING ELSE!!!
So cut the funding, I don't care, you're wasting your time and money on something that we already know the answer to.
GODDIDIT, and that's ALL we need to know.
I love that logic.
Religion, opiate for the masses, we know EVERYTHING, because the bible tells us so.
That is hilarious!!

CERN, founded 50 years ago, has 20 European member states who largely finance it, but the European Commission, India, Israel, Japan, Russia, the United States and Turkey have observer status -- and contribute to -- the body. No Arab countries? No African countries? None from Central or South America? How unfair!

This machine has so many possibilities, not just for getting closer to the big bang, but for also other physics experiments.
It is supposed to be the largest and best collider ever created, I am hoping to one day see one of these things in orbit, where that pesky gravity won't be a problem.

which two years ago came tantalisingly close to catching a glimpse of the Higgs boson ...A unicorn got in the way.

You seem to be the one to ask this of, does gravity create a problem with these experiments? I have assumed that it does. Those assumptions can be a pain sometimes.
As well as the fact, without gravity, a collider could be pretty much as big as we can technologically build it.

I can save them lots of $$s..."In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."Very good. Now tell me the supersymmetry breaking parameters, the electroweak cutoff scale, the mass of the Higgs boson, the CKM matrix parameters...

Atlas, an enormous detector of the micro-items of matter that make up life, the universe and everything. Penn is a major ATLAS collaborator. I'm not in that group, myself, but I can tell you it's a sharp bunch of guys.

To: Physicist
Thank you physicist, you answered the question before you even read it.
I think that you are psychic!! LOL
Would an orbital collider be advantageous?

If you're referring to the SSC, Bush 41 didn't cut the funding. Congress cut the funding in October, 1993.
