Surprise surprise, Berkeley is going to break ground on another ridiculous technology venture (doesn’t this seem to occur every week or so?). This time the school will shoot for the stars by building the world’s largest telescope.

So what changes can you expect on campus with this monster of an announcement? None, of course, as most students will never have access to or require the services of this machine.

Without fail, Berkeley’s campus tour guides will make sure to mention this accomplishment to high school juniors and seniors who will undoubtedly be awe-struck. Come to think of it, it’s kind of sad that on the majority of campus tours students are sold on things that will have absolutely zero effect on their campus lives. Seriously, how many of you have actually went to a Nobel Laureate’s office hours or worked on some top secret project up at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory?
