Uneasy Childhood Memory Stirred by Neutrino Experiment Installation

[beamjockey]

Good news from Fermilab Today: The people of the NOνA neutrino experiment have erected their first detector block, a gigantic plane of plastic that dwarfs its creators, in their hall.

Is anyone else reminded of the seventeenth second of the opening of "Fractured Fairy Tales?"

Yeesh, I can just imagine that thing falling over on them.

Second 09 isn't recommended, either. Who brought the whiteboard markers?

A little, but mostly, THANK YOU for finding that clip!!! Those were so very cool.

I hope once a month, on Friday night, they bring in lawn chairs and show movies there...

This is only the first one-- when they are finished, that big hall will be crammed with detector planes just like this one. Not much room to show movies.
