That's wild... I hope they don't blow up the universe. Although an instantaneous black hole death would probably beat dying in a fire or something, so I guess I can't worry too much.

I thought proton acceleration of this speed was still Star Trek type stuff...

I feel so uneducated everytime I see something like this.

BTW... who the hell funds this crap? Personally, I rather see 100's of millions of dollars being spent on cancer research than the identification of the forces behind the big bang theory.

Yeah... I understand that... but if I was "privately funding" research... I would chose to have my money spent else where

But the people who fund this kind of research stand to make a lot of money from this kind of technology. I have a feeling that the same companies that fund particle accelerators wouldn't quite make the same kind of money by finding a cure for cancer.

What type of technology are they striving for???

I'm really ignorant in this field.

Seems like this type of technology might lend itself to weapons or transportation... can't think of much more beyond that???
