The
SSC
!
"
"
The
what
?
"
"
The
Superconducting
Super
Collider
!
"
Someone
shrugged
.
"
I
didn
’
t
know
Harvard
was
building
one
.
"
"
Not
Harvard
!
"
he
exclaimed
.
"
The
U
.
S
.
It
was
going
to
be
the
world
’
s
most
powerful
particle
accelerator
!
One
of
the
most
important
scientific
projects
of
the
century
!
Two
billion
dollars
into
it
and
the
Senate
sacks
the
project
!
Damn
Bible

Belt

!
"
When
Brownell
finally
calmed
down
,
he
explained
that
a
particle
accelerator
was
a
large
,
circular
tube
through
which
subatomic
particles
were
accelerated
.
Magnets
in
the
tube
turned
on
and
off
in
rapid
succession
to
"
push
"
particles
around
and
around
until
they
reached
tremendous
velocities
.
Fully
accelerated
particles
circled
the
tube
at
over
180
,
000
miles
per
second
.
"
But
that
’
s
almost
the
speed
of
light
,
"
one
of
the
professors
exclaimed
.
"
Damn
right
,
"
Brownell
said
.
He
went
on
to
say
that
by
accelerating
two
particles
in
opposite
directions
around
the
tube
and
then
colliding
them
,
scientists
could
shatter
the
particles
into
their
constituent
parts
and
get
a
glimpse
of
nature
’
s
most
fundamental
components
.
"
Particle
accelerators
,
"
Brownell
declared
,
"
are
critical
to
the
future
of
science
.
Colliding
particles
is
the
key
to
understanding
the
building
blocks
of
the
universe
.
"
Harvard
’
s
Poet
in
Residence
,
a
quiet
man
named
Charles
Pratt
,
did
not
look
impressed
.
"
It
sounds
to
me
,
"
he
said
,
"
like
a
rather
Neanderthal
approach
to
science
…
akin
to
smashing
clocks
together
to
discern
their
internal
workings
.
