I'm intimately familiar with how high-energy physicists get hired and funded. The funding comes from the political and budget bucket labeled "nuke stuff".

E.g., Fermilab is under the U.S. Department of Energy. CERN is funded by the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Etc., etc.

Politicians fund this stuff only because it triggers their wunderwaffen FOMO.

So you don't know that CERN is the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, that's even worse than what I expected.

CERN as in the facility in Meyrin.

I've been there, walked the halls, etc. Don't lecture me.
