minus-squareEntropywinslinkfedilink19•11 months agoAround 1930 they had a particular accelarator at Berkeley called the Cyclotron…they had the coolest names back then
minus-squareEl Bartolink23•11 months agoLarge Hadron Collider is also a cool name. Are there newer accelerators with uncool names, like “TD Bank Accelerator”?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•edit-211 months agoYeah, but that’s just what it is and does. What’s it do? Collide. What’s it collide? Hadrons. How big is it? Large. I like the Cyclotron so much better. What does it do? I don’t fukken know, but it sounds cool as shit
minus-squareEl Bartolink6•11 months agoWell, it’s like the Terminator. What does it do? It terminates. Still a cool name.
minus-squareRBGlinkfedilink4•11 months agoI will always read its name as “Large Hardon Collider”. Could be its porn name.
minus-square@count_of_monte_carlolink3•11 months agoBerkeley still has a cyclotron, though it’s a little newer (build in the 60’s) and much bigger.

Melbourne has the Synchrotron
Berkeley still has a cyclotron, though it’s a little newer (build in the 60’s) and much bigger.
