Cost not onerous when divvied up

By
From page A4 | July 18, 2012 |

Your July 12 editorial, “Now, fun begins with Higgs boson particle,” says that discovering the Higgs particle cost $110 billion.  Forbes says it cost $13.25 billion. I have found no source on the Internet supporting your number.

This project was an international effort. If the cost was spread over all the world’s high-income, or developed countries, the cost would come to very roughly $10 a person assuming the Forbes number is close to being correct.
