Tapping in to those neutrons will be the Fundamental Neutron Physics beam line, which will help physicists exploit neutrons to learn more about the Big Bang, left-right symmetry of the universe and the amount of energy produced in the sun.Solving the mysteries of the Universe, eh? And you though digital watches were a pretty neat idea. posted by ashby | 1:27 PM 5.28.2004 Bratty New Planet
