Gravity's Angel

by Tom Maddox

A story published in OMNI concerning the Superconducting Supercollider that might have been. This story originally appeared in OMNI, November 1992. Author's This story concerns a future in which Congress continued funding for the SSC, which of course did not happen in our timeline, where instead of gravity's angel we have a large, mostly empty tunnel beneath the Texas plains. I would also remind the reader that all stories take place in alternate realities, perhaps, as David Deutsch maintains, among an infinite number of them.

An interesting story. I think there was an internet spoof about a similar formation of a singularity and the disappearance of the world around us in a flash.
