Interesting article on how Europe has become the center for physics.
The USA gave up in the 90s when it canceled projects.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24748826/ Last night at the reception,
there were people from everywhere: Chinese, Europeans, South
Americans, and so on. They all worked on the LHC.
A number of people last night talked about Sarah Palin. Palin is a
creationist (she thinks a "sky god" created the earth and all life
about 4,000 years ago). Such a person in the White House would put the
USA even further back in the sciences.
