Bill Clinton & the Day Physics Died

Video Description

Wondering why this is in your feed again? Well it involves an absurd story which you can read about here: https://twitter.com/BobbyBroccole/status/1532725334604451841 There's a hole in Texas, and we've come full circle. This is a story about the greatest failure in American physics: The Superconducting Super Collider. Part 3 of 3. Part 1: https://youtu.be/ivVzGpznw1U Part 2: https://youtu.be/6JnT37oUV_w My Twitter and Patreon: https://twitter.com/bobbybroccole https://www.patreon.com/bobbybroccoli The primary source on all things SSC is the book "Tunnel Visions", which I used as a blueprint to map out the series. Many of the quotes are taken from that book, which used primary interviews and are sourced very extensively. Stuff involving budgets and congress I accessed from the official government websites, including votes on bills and amendments, and inflation calculations were done by myself using an online tool. There are a bunch of other documents I read through such as "The Global Research and Development Landscape and Implications for the Department of Defense", "A TIMELINE OF MAJOR PARTICLE ACCELERATORS", "United States nuclear forces, 2019", "High Energy Physics Advisory Panel's Subpanel on Vision for the Future of High-Energy Physics May 1994", "The Intellectual Spoils of War? Defense R&D, Productivity and International Spillovers", "Accessory to War by Neil DeGrasse Tyson", "The Mission by David W Brown", "The God Particle (The Higgs boson) by Leon Lederman".
