Excerpt: The Texas Superconducting Super Collider would have dwarfed CERN’s LHC, according to reports. It was designed as an enormous underground ring complex situated close to Waxahachie and had it been allowed to go forward, would have been considered the most energetic particle accelerator in the world. The project’s construction commenced in the early ‘90s, but only 14 miles of tunnel were bored-out prior to the sunsetting of the whole thing.

Since the last hbomberguy video I'm a bit sceptical about long format youtube essays by random youtubers. Should I watch this? I havent heard about this broccoli guy before, but on tvtropes they write that the third part of this video was removed originally due to a copyright claim: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16506531060A47749600&page=1#comment-3

Isn't this just some wiki articles read out loud, right?

His channel has good presentation and organizes a lot of disparate information about a topic into a coherent structure. Much more than a “just reads Wikipedia” type channel.

I personally don’t pay much mind to copywrite strikes and uploads, it’s a lightning strike that happens to a lot of good channels for reasons that can be dubious.

Bobby broccoli is legit.

I have a very small personal stake in one of the scientific fraud videos (I was a grad student with one of the profs that brought the Hendrik Schon thing crashing down) and we talked about it in the Reddit comments of his first video. He definitely knows what he’s talking about.

In fact, if anything, his videos err more toward the side of “insider drama normal people never heard of or care about” than “dry regurgitated facts”.
