"The authors reason that any accelerator which surpasses a certain threshold of super-high-energy collisions (thus producing many of these new particles) will never go into operation because it violates some yet-unknown universal law. As evidence, they provide the failed Superconducting Super Collider, which Congress canned in 1993 after spending $2 billion on the project." Except that universal law apparently does not apply to whatever mechanism accelerates cosmic rays... So it must be a very selectively universal law... ;-)
