The Superconducting Supercollider was set to be the largest particle accelerator in the world, by a long shot. In fact, it would still to this day be the biggest and most powerful. But history had other plans.
This is the story of America's supercollider - the biggest failure in science history.

Can only imagine the local protests against having a nearby particle accelerator. "making a black hole that will destroy the earth and from which not even light can escape!? My garden is very shady as it is!"
it was actually kinda like that
NIMBY!
At least the black hole would suck the light towards the garden, being underneath and all. You wouldn't have any problems getting light then ;)

"There's mustard in my fridge that;s older than that".... classic. Thanks Mr. Scott for frequently making my day!!
I was literally checking the date on my ketchup when he said that... Lol
Back in 2006 we were having Christmas at my aunt's house and my aunt got out some mustard for the Christmas ham. The tin looked particularly rustic and when my brother started eating it I was struck by the very dark colour of the mustard. I checked the tin - best before July... 1995!

Good job, marshal
@@mary9983 only word salad of his I like.
Well done.
Yes Joe, GO.
Really did like the history, and would love to watch some longer format vids from you.
I second it.
Joe GO is also a good name for the series. I like it
I would love some longer format from you Joe. Particle colliders would be a really interesting subject.
Yes. Id love to watch him stream on twitch and go down some rabbit holes. Yes yes yes
"The USA defieted the Nazis" - Bruh India sent more men to die than the USA
You should do more “history of science” videos. They’re really good and engaging.
Or just history in general. For example about Americans defeating the Nazis :D
U mean USSR, US, Canada, UK defeating Germany
@@bhuvaneshs.k638 I was referring to what the guy said in the video. Btw it was much more countries than those you named
@@raukoring yeahh sure... No problemo buddy... That's why it's called "World war"
Thank you for making this video! We have lived in Waxahachie for almost 20 years and We never really heard what truly happened. There were rumors but this makes a lot more sense. It’s a shame so many people lost their homes and property for nothing !I personally would love to see more about it ! I have never seen where it is so that would be interesting to see !
what were some of the rumors?
YES!! Absolutely, the occasional deep dive would be a great addition to an already great channel. Thanks for all your hard work Joe, it’s much appreciated
When Joe said because well you know? I played merica f*ck yea in my head before it played in the video lol
@strontiumXnitrate Except for the fact that Higgs theorised it in 1964 and he was ridiculed in the science community for it. :)
"I can't believe I threw up in front of Prime Minister Miyazawa."
"Face it, George. You threw up _on_ Prime Minister Miyazawa."
Poor old ass grabber...
cheney told him to do it
...and how many reading the original dwc1964 comment got the movie reference?!! 😁
🤣🤣👍 Animal House, more relevant today than ever!
Great statement dwc1964, only I'd add at the end of your statement... "and the world."
Hey Joe. I’ve recently discovered your videos and they’re very interesting and I hope you continue your work because as a busy high school student, I really look forward to coming home and having some free time, which I spend listening and watching your videos while I’m doing homework, playing video games, or just chilling. Hope you see this and know that lots of people appreciate your work:)
Your sense of humor is above and beyond !!
Learning and enjoying at the same time.
Thank you man for the amazing content and presentation
I remember interviews before the Higgs was discovered where scientists were talking about how disappointed they'd be if the Higgs were the only particle they discovered... 6 years later.
Well, if they weren't disappointed before they are now.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick they expected things just as big as Higgs Boson, something that didn't happen.
Building the LHC with only Higgs Boson as a grand accomplishment was a big concern in the early years of the LHC.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick aren't they plan to extend the loop or up the power level of collisions in some other way? I feel like I heard something like that
ah, I wrote that in the middle of the video, Joe talks about the upgrade later.
It will be called the VLHC. This is required to got up to a little higher energy it has to be r^2 longer.
Rest of the video: how clean and well produced
Tangent cam: MY GOD...
So I grew up in Waxahachie, Tx. I remember when the SSC was being built and when it got shut down. It was an especially huge disappointment for our town. There were a lot of people from STEM fields that had moved here to work on the SSC. My physics teacher in HS was one of the SSC scientist that decided to stick around, he was awesome.
It was pretty common for businesses in town to have a map with the outline of the SSC tunnels hung up on a wall somewhere. Most people that live here now are not aware of the SSC or that there is a 14 mile tunnel half way around town.
Although I was too young to really understand what the SSC was, and I am really glad we built the ISS, I often like to think about what my little town would have turned into had the SSC been fully built. Maybe we would have 8 Whatburger's instead of the 4 we have now, you know the stuff of dreams. lol.
This video is absolutely amazing. I'm glad you went over all the topics you did. You caught me up on all the news and you sounded brilliant doing it.
Whenever I think about bureaucracy ruining our future, this project always comes to mind.
Yeah, If a democrat or leftist ever says they are PRO-SCIENCE , punch a hole through his face.
What the hell did I start? All was saying is that I wish politics didn't get in the way of science. I don't care what party or ideology, I just want science. Chill out, children!
@Davvy Jannes ,
This is the internet, you are just going to hurt your brain if you that is the shield you take up.
Fighting that level of ignorance is a war of attrition that no one can win....
Just give Tanmoy sd something along the lines of 'ok boomer,' and move on.
Those of us whom read his words just laughed at him, that is all those Trolls deserve.
Wouldn't a Technocracy be so much nicer?
@Davvy Jannes Wow! Look at the size of the Reply. Looks like I have triggered you real good. Another proof of peanut sized brain of leftists. So easy to manipulate.
They clearly should have started with installing the Fifteen Hundred Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button first.
Could have saved a lot of headaches.
I suspect Black Mesa had something to do with that. #BlameBlackMesa
Go for it Joe. You're always a must watch, would love to see some deeper dives too.
I'd love to see some larger projects and documentaries from you!
Last time I was this early, you JUST put the mustard in the fridge.

6 years to be exact.
Hey marco you were one of the top comments on the last video I watched on hacking ps4s???
A small amount of white wine vinegar will restore the mustard to its original luster, unless it is some mass-produced, artificially preserved American crap brand which will actually go rancid - real mustard will last aeons in your fridge. Much depends on one's ability to control the impulse to reuse the already-licked knife, also. Americans and impulses - Yeah, I know...
@@ablokenamedgeorge Lmao, it was the Gameboy video. Man, I unintentionally caused a firestorm, 1100 likes, 113 replies. Good times. SecuROM also had a comment a lot liked.
You can find me on Tech YES City as well. I make all sorts of interesting posts. I post on any vid if I think of something I think might be interesting or witty or relevant. Joe Scott does a lot of interesting videos and makes great content. Happy to be subbed.
8 billion dollars tbh is tiny in a multi trillion dollar economy, the banks got bailed out significantly more.
A billion here and a billion there, before you know it, you're talking about real money!
$700 billion on defence... each and every year. $8 billion is a rounding error on a single weapons system. At the height of the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan $8 billion was spent every week.
The James Webb Space Telescope is tipping at $9 billion. The ISS cost at least $100 billion to build and $3 billion per year to maintain.
Tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans costs the treasury $trillions each and every year. This while there's "no money" to address lead in the drinking water.
At the time, a billion dollars was worth a lot more than it is now.
Except that we're talking 8 to 10 billion dollars of 1990's money. Inflation puts the number now at $15,938,651,863.60. Also, when it comes to science in this country, it's usually last on the list to get funded and first on the list to get defunded. Unless you're waving a big wang at the Soviets.
There is a quote attributed to Brian Cox which goes along the lines of the UK government spent more money propping up the banks in a single year than had been spent on science and research since the beginning of the industrial revolution. (There does seem to be some variations of the quote)

I would love if you went for the longer form video with exploring!! I love your videos, you make a lot of heady concepts really easy and fun to understand
JS, I am an OLD guy and appreciated this video. May I have another?? Keep up the good work!
Desertron was the coolest name I ever heard for a few seconds, until I heard you say Keyworth and Trivelpiece. They sound like a fictitious duo from a detective novel.
You're right! 🤣😉
I'm already writing fanfic of their adventures! Trivelworth is naughty!
Imagine the science that could be done, with just a fraction of defence spending.
Great point. Take it one step further. Take 5% of military spending from the last 60 years and apply that to science. 600 billion dollars? Give or take 100 billion.
If only we could all cooperate instead of compete, we would probably have already expanded outside the milky way. I get disheartened when i think of the emmensity we humans waste over futile, childish obsessions, my species is an emberassment to me. Such potential wasted.
You would be surprised to find that wanting to do better than someone else has motivated innovation since the beginning of time.
@@Woogoo336 you don't need a tank for a pissing contest tho. if you spend your money on more beer instead you are more likely to win ;)
@@donfields1234 It must be understood that we are simply apes whose ancestors got lucky because ice melted 12 000 years ago. Human behaviour is largely autonomous and though our civilization has drastically changed very quickly, our physiology has remained the same. We actually do cooperate a lot and competition is very natural.
YES! We definitley need a follow-up on this!
Would definitely be interested in the long-form, documentary-type videos. Always find your videos educational and would love to see interviews, first-hand accounts, on-site videos, etc. to go along with your informative lectures. Will keep watching either way!
I’ve never heard the character of Ross Perot described so eloquently; “He was a meme before memes were memes.” Never a truer word said. Well said good sir, well said.
Memes have existed as long as culture has existed. What has not existed as long as culture has existed is merely a name for them, not to mention the ability to rapidly share them amongst the entire internet-connected populace.
He just died. I think at what, 110 ?
Steven Utter literal much? Yeah you must be a total hit at parties mate. We all understand the idea of memes as posited by Richard Dawkins, but we also understand the basis of a funny satirical joke poked at a ludicrous ‘politician’.
Speaking of Meme

"Six years ago! There's mustard in my fridge that's older than that!" This made my day
Mustard is like wine... it gets better with age.
"He was a billionaire and one time presidential candidate" - Now that's a tautology if ever I heard one!
Name Here - thanks. I had never heard that word before. Now I just need to find a way to lever it into conversation.
Yes Joe, documentaries and interviews would be fantastic!
Long-form documentaries by you would be excellent, I think.
Great episode! That was a blast from the past. I remember all of those events...especially Bush getting sick 🤢all over the Japanese prime minister.
I love the idea of longer, more in depth videos! 👍 Thanks, Joe.
Do the in depth video joe!
George Bush Probably Swallowed A BAD FLY ....
he vomited on him? feel bad for him, stress causes shit like that.
Yes definitely interested in a longer docuform type LHC video/series!!!
Love your channel I recommend it to people all the time makes my week more interesting thanks for the great content!
Crazy I've never learned about this surprisingly interesting part of history, thank you Joe
Split the atom? Really, Joe? I think New Zealander Sir Earnest Rutherford might disagree with you there.
Not to mention defeating the Nazis, I don't think there were any English speakers anywhere near Berlin when Hitler popped his clogs.
thank you bfk1970 - glad not the only one who picked that up
He only makes it on New Zealand's highest denominating $100 note
He was making a reference to the bombs not literally splitting the atom. And the US did do about 1/4 the work to defeat the nazis (1/4 goes to UK 1/4 to USSR 1/4 goes to all the manufacturing/fighting countries )
@@bearcatben4762 just because he showed a picture of an automatic weapon going off does not neglect the the fact that he said "split the atom". cause that's what we're talking about here *facts* - no your opinion.
really? the US did 1/3 of the work - really?
with the UK and USSR doing the rest - really?
so that's why it's called *world* war II?? it's completely and utterly disrespectful to all those other men and women from all the other countries who fought and died in the war - or returned home broken. think before you make so blanket statements - and do your research!
for the record, America might see itself that way- as the saviour of the world / hero of WWII - the rest of the world did not at the time, and do NOT now - ha! come in the end and claim all the credit - not even 1/3 mate
Wow. That was a refreshing amount of backround info. Very interresting thank you
Always enjoy the way your stories poke fun, yet traverse the plot perimeters on science and politics with ease... You have a gift at gab, and which after listening to you, makes complete sense. Good Job Old Chap..! Keep up the story telling and we will all be smarter because of it .!
Yessssss make a Nebula documentary on a science-history thing on some interesting project, successful or failed

I'm working on a project to create high frequency gravitational waves to see if spacetime itself can produce particles.
Around the time of the LIGO measurements, some researchers came up with using stacks of piezoelectric crystals to transmit data straight through the earth by vibrating at a frequency that another detector was sensitive to. How would someone find your research, what terms should they use?
Would be great to hear about more projects America was working on that never happened, and what we could have learned if we had
From a technology standpoint, we still live in the shadow of the Cold War.
At the tail end we were working some truly exotic stuff that even now would seem futuristic. Delta Clipper, The National Space Plane (SSTO) railguns, partical beam weapons, space manufacting, Radio Frequency weapons, thought controlled machine interface, Astrolite G etc...
Bold Gambit aren’t BAE systems already working on railguns

I've always been interested in the SSC and remember laughing about the LHC finally coming on line. It became quickly apparent that the stopping of the SSC set the USA back decades and one can only play a guessing game at imagining how much further our understanding of our universe would've progressed. Still, Ross Perot could've contributed a fair chunk of change towards it on a personal level, and I guess there's nothing stopping a bunch of rich pricks getting together and building their own super-duper-super-collider. PS: Joe, I'd be super keen to see more on this and other interesting things. Whether science and engineering or travelogues, yep, I'm in.
What if billionaires had a private, secret supercollider and kept the information quiet?
Yes, More. Really liked the depth, why's and why-not's.
Definitely in depth docs!!
Defeated the Nazis? Invented rock'n'roll? Don't tell the Brits....
They don't care. It's not about whether your story is true, it's about whether you can tell it louder and more often. 'Muricah, fuck yeah!
The russian defeated the Nazis. But America.did invent rock and roll. Not even up for debate.
Neil Degrasse Tyson, talks about the SSC all the time and how the US has ceased to be relevant in the world of science.
Well, and we have our result. No new physics was found at LHC, not building the ssc was the correct choice.

Greg Albright so finding the Higgs boson wasn’t new physics for you?
@@Sauromannen The higgs signal was originally found at Fermi, the LHC just confirmed the result. So no, no new physics has been found at LHC.
@@Sauromannen But more to the point, the LHC was supposed to find super symmetric particles, and it failed to find those. From a science POV, the LHC has been the most expensive failure of all time.
9:45 - That song melody hits every time
thanks joe, i am grateful for the work you and your team put in each of the videos. i trust any video you do on this topic would be a video i would enjoy!
quick tip joe, dont bleep stuff. youtube has a hidden system that also punishes bleeps. not as hard as actual curses, but the system basically notices that there are bleeped words and that still affects your videos.
if you gotta get rid of a curse, mute it, or cover it with different audio than a bleep :)
Interesting. How sure are we about this? Also, it would have been funny if he'd used an explosion sound as a bleep.
"I'm planning on doing X in the coming year" . Oh have naive we all were.
I would absolutely love to see a more in depth video about this!! I love your channel and I think most here would also love more in depth documentary type videos !!!
Great video Joe! And yes i would very much like to see some longer documentaries. You have a gift to find so much different and interesting subjects. Thank you for doing this for us!!! Waiting for more :-)
As a guy named Shia once said..."JUST DO IIIIIIIITTTTTT" No really, I would love to see a video on the tunnels and stuff

@Rick Deegan People gotta people. Everyone's got a good and bad side in other people's perspectives. Society is interestingly complex that way.
This makes the "Big Dig" in Boston look like an ant farm. 10 Billion to start projection?
Look out, Mama, here comes 100 Billion!
I'm always up for longer documentaries!
Loved this Video Joe. I have a physics degree from UNT and followed this closely as it was evolving. I have friends here now that once worked there. What a sad day it was when this was cancelled. I remember it like yesterday. Thanks for filling in some details I either didn’t know or had forgotten. Greetings from McKinney TX.
When I was a child in the 90s I remember news articles on the SSC saying this research "would lead to more powerful rockets" decades later I am still thinking how? Were they thinking it would create antimatter or graviton motors or something?
I believe the thinking was or what was being pitched at least was it could create Antimatter particles. Also the unknown was being sold very hard too, maybe we would be able to manipulate gravity with the findings. I found a PDF of a newspaper article scan at the time when I did a school project years ago that said some pretty crazy stuff looking back at it now.
The real question we should be asking is why you have 6+ year old mustard in your fridge?
Just discovered you on TH-cam :D Everything you bring up is interesting because of you. Would love you to do longer documentaries.
Yesss I definitely wanna see the sight, and a docu series would be awesome.
U.S. : Struggles to build an 10 billion particle accelerator
Switzerland: Builds an rail road tunnel for 23 billion
One of these has an outcome that's much more tangible and certain than the other.
What's the point of this comment?
America didn't "split the atom" first. Ernest Rutherford was the first person to knowingly split the nucleus, in 1918 at Manchester University and he was from New Zealand.
so litigious you are, you can see from the picture that he is referencing the bombs not literally an atom. If your going to be so literal why not give credit to the neutrons that really did it? He didn't do it in 1918 because the neutron was only discovered in 1932
Ernest Rutherford didnt split it, he crushed it.
Nuclear fission we know today was discovered on 17. December 1938 in Berlin at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut of chemistry
And after war the american took all the german scientist and developed the nuke
And now there is a crazy President sitting on a throne of nukes
Thankr for your input GPGames TV and dwc1964 but 40 years ago when I went to school the term "split the atom" specifically related to Ernest Rutherford. Nowadays with the internet the Google search "split the atom" also brings up Ernest Rutherford as number 1. So if Joe (who I totally respect) was referencing some other event using the term "split the atom" was incorrect.
@@Kevin-po3on Yeah like i said he crushed it its not a split.
Today we split Uranium Atoms to get this Reaction
So what are u meaning with split the atom?
If you mean fission you are wrong
@@GroovaPalooza Your not understanding what I am saying (or don't want to). This is about terminology and history. No matter how scientific you get Ernest Rutherford still "split the atom". Until a panel of "experts" specifically say "Ernest Rutherford crushed the atom" he still split it because that's what the history books still say today. Pluto would still be a planet if a scientific committee had not deemed it otherwise.
I love the tangent cam view of your neat and organized desk. Looks like mine. Thank you for the view. Love it.
Hell yeah! Those possible future videos sound awesome!
In terms of human motivation, competition beats cooperation every time
Best effects, however, are achieved when "cooperation" and "competition" supplement each other.
You cant really eat the rich in competitive way tho.
@@janstankiewicz9816 I agree to a certain extent. East Bloc Cooperation vs West Bloc cooperation worked out really well for the sciences. The need to maintain a scientific edge meant pleanty of funding.
Post-Cold War the primary drivers were International Cooperation and Corporatism. International Cooperation was used as an excuse to cut science funding (Cost sharing) and Corporations were with few exceptions, only interested in applied sciences.
I have some hope that the coming arms race might usher in a renaissance in science funding. Hopefully we can avoid war like the last time around.
@@Oksa_L Have you not heard of competitive eating?
Unfortunately that wouldn't solve anything, human nature means someone always comes out on top.
