minus-squareEntropywins@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up19·2 years agoAround 1930 they had a particular accelarator at Berkeley called the Cyclotron…they had the coolest names back then
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 years agoLarge Hadron Collider is also a cool name. Are there newer accelerators with uncool names, like “TD Bank Accelerator”?

minus-squarestarman2112@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-22 years agoYeah, but that’s just what it is and does. What’s it do? Collide. What’s it collide? Hadrons. How big is it? Large. I like the Cyclotron so much better. What does it do? I don’t fukken know, but it sounds cool as shit
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoWell, it’s like the Terminator. What does it do? It terminates. Still a cool name.
minus-squareRootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoI will always read its name as “Large Hardon Collider”. Could be its porn name.
minus-squarecount_of_monte_carlo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoBerkeley still has a cyclotron, though it’s a little newer (build in the 60’s) and much bigger.

Melbourne has the Synchrotron
