![]() I've known about this for sometime and there are a large number of slightly disgruntled American physicists because the LHC wasn't constructed on Texan turf. Thanks for that interesting hub, Au Fait. When we sold our house, we had to have one of these companies come in and test for Radon gas. It is about the Radon gas that suposidly seeps into people's home that live close to the accelerator ring and there are companies that take advantage of this. This is very interesting, and I have other information on hard copy that would be of use for the next hub on this subject. Fermilab's Tevatron was a landmark particle accelerator at 3.9 miles (6.3 km) in circumference, it was the world's second largest energy particle accelerator. I use to live about 3 miles from Fermi Lab, where I applied for a job, sometime in the late 1980s. Shyron E Shenko from Texas on July 09, 2012: Truly appreciate your sincere and thoughtful addition to this subject! have lost some benefits as a result of the very sort of people you and I have both described. Short term at least, both Texas and the U.S. It is true that all boundaries are arbitrary and that in the big picture this discovery should benefit everyone, but unfortunately, as I have said, we live in a materialistic world. I think perhaps it is evil at its most efficient. It is some people and their provincial attitudes, believing that they are right and anyone who differs is wrong, that is at the base of the problem. Intolerance and judgmentalism is not God's fault yet He is blamed. I believe God gave us a free will, and as a result some people have twisted what He teaches through His son Jesus into something ugly. Unfortunately God/Jesus take a hit for this when in fact it is the wrong headed interpretation of some people that is at the root of it all. I'm a Christian myself, and it saddens me the way religion is so divisive in our culture, as it seems to have always been through the ages. Why are we killing our very life lines?

Even Atheists?Ī new field of science called neurotheology is studying and researching whether or not what is referred to as the "God Spot" really exists in humans.Are we on the verge of discovering new dimensions? What is a Higgs Boson? Why is it called the God Particle? What is all the fuss about discovering what causes mass? Learn what this long sought discovery is all about.

What Has Become Of the Super Collider Construction in Waxahachie?Īccording to summerofscience on Wordpress, despite rumors of turning it into “a mushroom farm or a data site,” it has only been used as a one time filming site for a movie that most people have never heard of. They were not saddened when the project was ended in Waxahachie even though a slight recession followed in that area as a result. They were convinced that scientists were going too far by messing with the “God Particles.” In their ignorance they really believed that what are now called the Higgs Bosons were somehow more Godly than other particles that make up our world.Ī surprising number of people in our ‘modern’ society, were convinced that continuing with the project would surly bring the wrath of God down on our heads and end the world. With Lederman’s book called the God Particle being released and talk that smashing atoms together could lead to changes in time and space as we knew it, all manner of wild ideas were floating, indeed flying around.Īs a result a lot of people uneducated in the Higgs Theory, were against having the Super Collider (as it was popularly known in these parts), in Texas. No doubt a lot of people with little understanding of science, or specifically physics, got many of the rumors floating around mixed up. Many people really believed and feared that once the particle accelerator was put in motion and the particles inside were forced to collide at the speed of light, the world would come to an end. ![]() There was a good deal of concern at the time as I recall, by people who didn’t really understand what the project was about, or how it would accomplish it’s ultimate purpose.
