Scientists hope for surprises in Big Bang experiment

$10B over 15 years isn't that much. Porn is something like a $4B/yr industry. Not that nuclear physics is more important than pornography, I'm not arguing that, but in the grand scheme of things that's not a lot of $ there are several govt progs that get hundreds of millions at a time during one regeime only to have the program cut under a different administration so 10B is a good price considering its actually yeilding results. Sexy results.
