O ovoj e-knjizi

 The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), the dream of American high-energy physicists, would have a circumference of 87 kilometers and spending billions of dollars. Its proponents justified the expenditure on several grounds. On its best day, it would examine the universe to its very philosophical depths and thus “keep faith with the Greeks.”

 

Below it’s working capabilities, it would put forward a tunneling technique and give society perfect sewers. Congress cancelled it in 1993. The undertaking represented by the SSC might be the way to an ultimate physics. But it is not the Greek way. In antiquity, physics was a liberal art, a philosophy, the pursuit of an independent man wealthy enough to do whatever he wished.

He did not aim to develop the sewers and, since he had no need of public money, did not have to claim that he would. Nor did he want apparatus, since he seldom experimented, or mathematics, since he seldom calculated. The few ancient applications of mathematics to physics constituted a mixed science devoted to the description of phenomena rather than to his search for principles.
