The Tevatron particle accelerator in Illinois will be closed down at the end of September 2011. The Tevatron construction was completed in 1983 and ran its first accelerated beam in July 1983.
What gave the universe mass - well it's postulated that the Higgs Boson did, yet it's never been seen and may only exist for less than a second. Billions have been spent on trying to find this particle, but the possibility remains that it doesn't exist.
