€20 Billion isn't really all that much for a particle accelerator that can be used for more than a decade when you consider the US plans to spend $842 billion on just the military this year.
Yeah but finding more efficient ways to kill people is more important than this science stuff obviously
That's a really simplistic view. The military isn't just a killing machine, we get oil fields out of it too.
BS! I found my used particle accelerator for under 100 bucks on Craigslist. I'm sending nano scale black holes over to my asshole neighbor since.
