Physicists' knowledge of the subatomic particles that make up atoms, the bits that constitute the particles and the forces that bind them all together depends on accelerators -- and the bigger the better.

Einstein's discovery that matter and energy are equivalent guarantees that such bursts will spontaneously transform themselves into particles of matter. The SSC would make these extremely concentrated energy bursts by using its magnets to guide protons, moving at nearly 186,000 miles per second...
