Nonetheless, the project's super price tag -- originally estimated at $5 billion but up to $11 billion at last count -- was a perpetual and powerful counterargument. Specialists in other fields of science, and even different areas of physics, resented such largesse being heaped on a | relatively small number of researchers at a time of national...
