Atom smashers are like powerful microscopes. The lengths they can measure are inversely proportional to the diameter of their accelerator rings. The most powerful yet are tevatrons, producing 1-trillion electron-volt collisions. Your job is to present a budget proposal to Congress for a particle accelerator capable of measuring objects as small as the Plank length---10^-35 meter. Can it be done for less than a $Googol?
