Super Collider facts
While investigating facts about Super Collider Texas and Super Collider Switzerland, I found out little known, but curios details like:
America was once constructing a Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) that would have dwarfed the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It now sits abandoned in the Texas prairie.
how many super colliders are there?
There is an abandoned 'Desertron' Super Collider in Texas whose construction started in 1991 that would have been larger than the Large Hadron Collider.
What is a super collider?
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across answering what does a super collider do. Here are 12 of the best facts about Super Collider Megadeth and Super Collider Cern I managed to collect.
what happened to the super collider in texas?
-
Near Waxahachie, Texas are abandoned remains of a particle Collider. The system, known as the Superconducting Super Collider, was intended to be the world's largest particle accelerator, with a ring circumference of 54 miles. It would have had five times the energy of even today’s LHC collisions
-
The Superconducting Super Collider, a project in Texas which was set to be the world's largest/most powerful particle accelerator, five times more powerful than the current record held by the Large Hadron Collider. It was cancelled due to budget problems.
-
There was/is a non-zero chance that the Hadron Super Collider 'could spit out man-eating dragons'
-
The world's largest superconducting super collider lies half-finished and abandoned underneath Texas - nicknamed 'The Desertron' it would have been bigger than the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
-
Texas attempted to build a HUGE Superconducting Super Collider back in the 90s
-
After spending over $2 billion building the world's largest super collider under a rural town in Texas, it was abandoned in 1993 when funding was cut. Had it not, the Texas facility probably would have discovered the Higgs boson a full decade before CERN.
-
The 27km Large Hadron Collider (LHC) shrinks by 30 meters in size, once the liquid helium is put inside of it and yet is super, super precise.
-
World’s largest super collider abandoned exists in Texas.
