Just as well it ain't run by the U.K. rail, who the hell they are now, or it could be measured being there even if it were 1/2 hour late?
"Jim Al-Khalili, of the University of Surrey’s physics department, who has offered to eat his boxer shorts on live television if neutrinos really can travel faster than light, said: ‘I am not yet ready to get out my knife and fork."
I used to look after some of the IBM mainframe kit at SRC Daresbury and had the wonderful chance to have a wander in the Nina Ring they had there which was a particle accelerator in a ring of a 1/4 mile radius and looking at the photo at the bottom of that link looked like a cleaner version. The work they did they did there was beyond my reckoning but the guys were fascinating to talk to, but the work they were doing was just not in this league.
I remember that the magnets that guided the tiny tube that made up the 'ring' were about 8 foot tall and square and gawd knows how long spaced every few feet. You had to pick up a tag when you went in and the ring could not be fired until all of the rtags were back on their pegs. Anyone in there when it was fired would have been dead from the radiation within about 15 seconds.
It must have been a baby in comparison to this one?
