  3. “In high-energy physics we have concentrated on experiments in which we distribute a higher and higher amount of energy into a region with smaller and smaller dimensions. In order to study the question of‘vacuum’, we must turn to a different direction; we should investigate some ‘bulk’ phenomena by distributing high energy over a relatively large volume.” T.D. Lee (Nobel Laureate) Rev. Mod. Phys. 47 (1975) 267. John Harris (Yale University) QCD@Work 2003, Bari, Italy
