Fermilab Not Dead Yet, Discovers Rare Single Top Quark 194
Several sources are reporting that in spite of LHC hype, Fermilab's Tevatron has produced another feat for scientific discovery. Currently the world's most powerful operating particle accelerator, the Tevatron has allowed researchers to observe a rare single Top Quark. "Previously, top quarks had only been observed when produced by the strong nuclear force. That interaction leads to the production of pairs of top quarks. The production of single top quarks, which involves the weak nuclear force and is harder to identify experimentally, has now been observed, almost 14 years to the day of the top quark discovery in 1995."

they can hide them without having to move them an inch (except downwards, that is). Bring them up only for repairs and embarking/disembarking, and only inside a closed structure.
Does anyone see why they don't do that all the time, given the risk of aerial or satellite photography?

Nuclear weapons were designed when the threats were a little more impressive than a militant band running through caves. The Japanese Empire and the Soviet Union, for example.
And a nuclear bunker would actually be a very nice place to live next to, considering it is built to save lives in case of a nuclear strike, and is far more interesting an address than most of suburbia.
