Tour of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Thomas Hawk writes "Last month Robert Scoble and I were able to do a video/photo shoot of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) with SLAC Emeritus Bebo White. SLAC is both the longest and straightest building in the world and is the home of three Nobel Prizes in physics. There is also a video tour available; part one and part two."

Longest building in the world?

[ScentCone]

Maybe it is. But I think that the time I had to pull several thousand feet of CAT5 through an old retail building that was constructed entirely of:

1) Rat feces

2) Razor-wire-lined plaster/lathe ceilings

3) Meter-thick sedimentary deposits of cigarette smoke

4) Did I mention rat feces?

... well, that sure seemed like the longest building in the world. We actually had places where we used a crossbow and fishing line.

and so close to san francisco

I'm a gay particle physicist, you insensitive clod!
