Supercollider

The supercollider was a terrible thing for most scientists -- it was killing budgets for everything not particle physics. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The supercollider was a massive construction project with much of the budget going to things like digging and pouring concrete. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A supercollider is a “built up” structure of massive proportions. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Keep in mind, a lot of the people who say, well, I don't like the space station, or I don't really think the supercollider is the best use of our investments in physics, they may be arguing about other investments that they think ought to be made. ❋ ITY National Archives (1993)

Well, a couple days after I asked this question and got all those responses (thanks!), I saw an old ep of Futurama in which the professor orders some kind of supercollider from them, which is delivered by an Ikea robot, which looks like a TV stand. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Scientist-novelists will tell you that writing a novel without a plan is about as good an idea as building a supercollider without a blueprint, measuring everything by eye and improvising as you go. ❋ Alex Shakar (2011)

Creation of a tyransitiuon on the subatomic level has been posited as one of the possible applications of supercollider technology. ❋ Stsisyphus (2009)

In total, 20 European countries joined their political wills to move forward with the CERN, which with the decision taken by the U.S. Congress in 1993 to discontinue funding for a supercollider that was planned to be built in Texas, became the world's leader in particle research. ❋ José Fernando López (2012)

•NBC "Nightly News" Friday reported on Switzerland's supercollider being turned back on ❋ Unknown (2009)

As an example, back in the 80's the astronomy community scathed at the Hubble Telescope because they saw it as 'taking money away' from them just to 'take pretty pictures', or ditto with physicists who would have rather pumped money into the supercollider instead of trying to study fundamental physics in space. ❋ Unknown (2009)

They want to know if it's going to be better than it is now to Neanderthals to the supercollider - went way too long. ❋ Unknown (2011)

These are cool: Large Hadron Collider - CERN supercollider - webcams ❋ Unknown (2010)

One of the things I love about research is the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon of it all: You start off looking up string theory and it leads you to many worlds theory and the supercollider and Michio Kaku and Ed Witten. ❋ Unknown (2010)

You don't happen to be a well-paid coverup expert for nuclear meltdowns and/or blown supercollider superconductors in your spare time, do you? ❋ Unknown (2008)

"How did your date go?" "Great! She said she was a [biologist], so I took her home, gave her some [wine coolers] and introduced her to the DNA Supercollider. [It was a good day] for science!!!" ❋ Taoistmoon (2012)
