Be aware that they are working on a much bigger machine. The ILC (International Linear Collider) which will be a straight line collider with a beam from each end meeting in the middle. It is proposed to be 31 miles in length. This machine will take the LHC findings and put them to use!
It is good to see a forum where a person's ideas are truly welcomed for discussion and knowledge.

You could't be more right. A debate is a place where differencies of opinion comes forward. Otherwise it would be argumenting. Mudslinging does not help the positive outcome of a debate.
If I have an opinion that differs from others, I present it in a non offensive way, and if I have hit a nerve somewhere, hopefully there will be a response.
I'm quite sure Douglas wouldn't throw mud at me for stating my belief, if I present it, we're just as good buddies as ever (I hope!

). I just might have a different opinion that the one he has. The difference is, that I
respect Douglas in his belief.
Some out there should stop and think a bit before slinging mud towards anyone, it just might be a much wider forum would pay attention if one's opinion is presented in a more positive way.
