    Einen Teilchenbeschleuniger zu bauen, der noch grösser ist als der Large Hadron Collider am Cern, ist nicht abwegig. Bis anhin tun die Physiker aber noch viel zu wenig, um die Öffentlichkeit davon zu überzeugen.(Building a particle accelerator even bigger than the Large Hadron Collider on Cern is not out of the question. Until now, however, the physicists are still doing too little to convince the public.)
