That's a good one

Reminds me of the last-ditch effort to save the Superconducting Super Collider [SSC] project in Texas with physicists proposed renaming it to the Ronald Reagan Center for High Energy Physics a.k.a "The Gippertron".In 1977 the Nobel laureate Leon Lederman published a tongue-in-cheek proposal to build a collider using existing subway tunnels in New York City. The city was suffering a financial crisis and Lederman reckoned physicists could acquire the tunnels for a knock-down price.
Lederman’s proposal has inspired Caltech physicist David Hitlin to propose building another collider to address a hot political issue of today – building a wall on the US–Mexican border. In “The Very Big ILC”, Hitlin describes how long, straight sections of the border between the states of Sonora and Arizona could blocked by a huge linear particle collider.
Hitlin’s collider would be 300 km long and could achieve a centre-of-mass energy of 5 TeV. In contrast the proposed International Linear Collider in Japan is a mere 31 km long with an initial energy of 250 GeV. What’s more, with the addition of a bit or razor wire on top, Hitlin says the structure would meet Donald Trump’s specifications for a border wall.
And what would Hitlin call the facility? The TrumpILC, of course.
Well, when it comes to the definition of practical problem solvers, Shirley, Physicists must be the first group that comes to mind.......Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 1:22 amReminds me of the last-ditch effort to save the Superconducting Super Collider [SSC] project in Texas with physicists proposed renaming it to the Ronald Reagan Center for High Energy Physics a.k.a "The Gippertron".In 1977 the Nobel laureate Leon Lederman published a tongue-in-cheek proposal to build a collider using existing subway tunnels in New York City.

Remarkable, given that Reagan was as popular with that crowd as a case of the clap even though he had been the one who had given approval for construction.
