I feel like this should be required watching for anyone who wants to better understand colliders and the politics around them. BobbyBroccoli made this series on the development of some of them.
Also that West Wing episode where a physicist is trying to get funding for our Collider and the staffer is like “what does it do? What practical applications does it have?” and the physicist says none. It’s practical application is discovery. That we discovered penicillin on accident not when we were researching practical applications of injections.

I don’t want to learn science from someone named BobbyBroccoli.
How about Robby Ravioli instead?
Bold claim from a monkey puppet, jk. I’ve watched his channel it’s really good. I found the videos on the collider to be really interesting.
Bill Nye is literally just called the science guy and we got invaluable information from him.
Well maybe I’ll call up Broccoli Man if I need info on Broccoli
How convenient; you won’t be learning science! You’ll be learning history!

Of course it was fucking Reagan.
Hopefully without lube.
