CERN's Collaborative Success

Brian discusses the establishment of CERN as a beacon of international collaboration in the wake of World War II, emphasizing its stable funding model that allows for long-term scientific projects. Unlike the US Collider, which faced political hurdles and funding instability, CERN's consistent financial support from member states ensures that ambitious experiments can be planned and executed over time. The closure of the US Collider serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by scientific endeavors in a politically charged environment.
