@pricedout.yt: How much did America's super collider in Texas cost? Texas dug 14 miles of tunnel for a $2 billion super collider. It never smashed a single atom 🕳️ The Superconducting Super Collider in Waxahachie, Texas was planned as a 54-mile ring, about 3x bigger than CERN's, built to beat Europe to the secrets of the universe. Crews bored the tunnels, built the labs and hired about 2,000 people. Then in October 1993, Congress killed it mid-construction. The site went to Ellis County, sold in 2006 for $6.5 million, and today it's a chemical plant. Meanwhile Europe built its collider and found the Higgs boson in 2012. The SSC tunnels sit sealed and flooded. Should Congress have finished it? 👇 Follow for more price breakdowns of the future.
