UPDATE: And after turning on the thing, I got a mini black hole!

That rotunda in the garden next to the building looks a lot like the one which was destroyed by Stephen Hawking in “They Saved Lisa’s Brain”.

The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC, 1991) near Waxahachie, Texas was designed for 20 TeV/proton, 40 TeV center of mass. It was a magnet for fire ants (and bureaucrats, for the SSC risked failure). International Space Station Freedom FUBAR Space Hole One Alpha was built and orbited instead. ISS FUBAR guaranteed failure – the zero-risk investment of choice. CERN’s LHC will top at 14 TeV center of mass end of 2014. Go Springfield!
