    I'm not saying a particle accelerator was used to test the theoretical underpinnings of nuclear power. I'm saying testing was done, that is, they did not "accomplish[] all of that with the theoreticals." They just used earlier tools.

    To test modern physics, many (not all) physicists say the tool they need is an accelerator.
