Europe's CERN laboratory said on Monday that a detailed analysis revealed no technical obstacles to building the world's biggest particle collider, even as critics took issue with the "pharaonic" $17-billion project.

There is real competition" from China in particular, she cautioned, hailing that the giant FCC “project is absolutely on the good track” and urging states to release the funding needed to move forward.

With an average depth of 200 meters (660 feet), the tunnel would accommodate a particle accelerator that would be more than three times the length of CERN’s existing Large Hadron Collider, currently the largest of its kind.

      To see what happens when we point the pew at the pew.

      Also the discovery of the Higgs Boson, precision measurement of fundamental constants, and creating the largest collaboration of scientists, engineers, and techicians in the history of humankind.

      But mostly the pew pew 😃
