€20 Billion isn't really all that much for a particle accelerator that can be used for more than a decade when you consider the US plans to spend $842 billion on just the military this year.
Yeah but finding more efficient ways to kill people is more important than this science stuff obviously
That's a really simplistic view. The military isn't just a killing machine, we get oil fields out of it too.
Fingers crossed it’ll destroy the planet killing everyone.
They just have to put that in the paperwork to secure the military funding.
BS! I found my used particle accelerator for under 100 bucks on Craigslist. I'm sending nano scale black holes over to my asshole neighbor since.
