View Full Version : I thought SC meant super collider?

Or more specifically, that superconducting super collider that was partially built in Texas in the 90's.

Has anyone yet turned a Marauder with SC into a super collider?

Wow!- that's a blast from the past. I worked on this project for 4 years.:D

Not to put too fine a point on it but we called it the "SSC". It was a great gig with world travel and it gave me a working knowledge of particle physics- so, I've got that going for me...which is nice.

Yes, there have been a number of photos posted already about Marauder super-colliders. Insurance company usually totals them out. :D

Had experimental work done at both in a previous job:eek:

Didn't somebody mention strange quarks in an earlier thread?

I heard there's a war between the quarks and the strings now. Looks like the strings might win.

And, if the TOE becomes a reality, we may be getting a warp drive soon.
