I would have loved for the SSSC to have been built as well. It probably wouldn't have found the highs boson till 2010 or maybe as early as 2009. The computer technology of the 90s would have severely limited the things ability to be understood. CERN creates GB of data per second. I can't imagine what that thing would have done, and then we need to be able to process that much so we can filter out the noise.

I was 12 when it was announced that they weren't gonna finish buildt it, and even though I was just a kid in IN, something shattered for me that day. That was almost as bad as watching Challenger.
