    I would like to understand how the size/capability of this proposed facility compares to both CERN and also the never completed Superconducting Supercollider. I will never get over the fact that, as Americans, we could have had a huge lead in this research. We started to build it, then decided to stop.

      America doesn’t do anything big unless it’s to beat either China or Russia. Maybe this collider will be the impetus we need to build a bigger one.

      Give them a watch if you haven’t.
