Coincidentally, I saw one of these mythical accelerators firsthand (well,
from the 280 freeway) a few weeks ago when I was driving by Stanford.
Pretty cool looking high tech thing.

and Isrealis have a working device that would scare the daylights out of
you.

Perhaps the fact that there were NO serious answers to your question, is
the answer!

And taking the implication a little further, perhaps it's a good source
of amusement!

Dearest Grimer, thank you SO much for this insightful, truly awe-inspring
answer to the valuable knowledge gained from the insights into particle
physics.
OTOH, I am ROFL and truly appreciate the parable.
It actually reminds me of the questions which I, and many others have asked
of Martin.

Mind you - quite what the parable has to do with angels or
pins rather escapes me. 8-)
Here you (and I) go:
When people want to express total pointlessness, they
sometimes say a thing is as silly as arguing over how many angels
could dance on the head of a pin.

Howdy Steven,
Central Texas was to be the location of the super collider. Near
Waxahachie, the 25 mile dia underground ring was to be the answer to
everything how to get a Texan elected
A Plan to Replace the Welfare State
Struggling to bring this back on topic, let me say that I saw a particle
physicist today on the offramp of the 10 freeway at Roberston with a sign,
Will work for a super collider.
I guess this is just another one of those silly questions that I find
myself asking.
So now its clear.
It must be a secret antitrust initiative developed by Burger King, Wendy's
and all those who stand for alternatives from McDonalds.

Howdy Steven,
You obviously asked the magic question to provoke such a response. Took me
a while to wrap my brain completely around those responses.. from pin
headed angels to theoretical particle welfare physics where the speed of the
growth of the handout is indirectly proportional to the
