About SSC:
Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), a federally financed project abandoned in 1993 that would have been capable of accelerating subatomic particles to energy levels forty times that previously achieved by researchers. For reasons of national prestige and international economic competitiveness, the Ronald Reagan administration in 1982 encouraged U.S. high-energy scientists to devise a challenging national accelerator project. Physicists responded with plans for the most ambitious particle accelerator ever attempted, a superconducting super collider. It was to be a proton collider far more energetic than existing ones, employing the superconducting magnetic technology recently developed at the Fermi National Laboratory in Illinois. The primary justification for the machine was a search for particles known as Higgs bosons. The machine was to produce forty TeV protons (where one TeV, or tera-electron volt, is 1 trillion electron volts). This determined the size (a fifty-four-mile-long ring) and the projected cost ($4.4 billion). Federal funding for the machine required justification. Support from the Texas congressional delegation and the promise of $1 billion toward the project from the state of Texas led to the decision to build the accelerator in Waxahachie, Texas, rather than near Fermilab. In the autumn of 1993 the House of Representatives, faced with a more than doubled price tag, voted overwhelmingly to kill the project. By then $2 billion had been spent, the superconducting magnets had been tested, one-third of the ring had been excavated, and two teams of a thousand physicists and engineers from around the world were working out detailed designs of the two enormous particle detectors to observe and analyze proton collisions in the TeV energy range.

Great value dress shoes with nice detailing
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I bought these black dress shoes for an occasional formal wear, and overall I’m quite pleased with them for the price. Fit & Comfort: The size is accurate (true to size for me). They fit well right out of the box with no major break-in period needed. The pointed toe is a bit more tapered/narrow than I usually prefer, but it’s stylish and not uncomfortably tight. The main downside is the thin padding/insoles — they’re a little firm underfoot. However, this is an easy fix; I’ve already swapped them for better aftermarket insoles and the comfort improved significantly. Quality & Appearance: The quality is solid for the money. The faux leather has a nice shine, and the crocodile-embossed pattern on the toe cap and sides looks sharp and premium in person (see my photos). Stitching is clean, the sole has decent tread for a dress shoe, and they feel sturdy. No loose threads or cheap-feeling construction. They’ve held up well so far after several wears. Value: Excellent bang for the buck. They look much more expensive than they cost and are a solid choice if you’re looking for stylish dress shoes without spending a fortune. Would recommend, especially if you plan to add your own insoles. Perfect for office, weddings, or events where you want to look polished.
