The State University of New York at Stoney Brook has an astounding collection of intellectuals, and it's not highly regarded as a university. It's got multiple field medalists, it has an institute called the Simon Center for geometry and physics. C.N. Yang arguably the greatest living theoretical physicist is at that that university. It's not advertised as the powerhouse that it is. If one was going to locate a Manhattan project in plain sight and have U.S. News & World report this as a minor player in research, that's a possible option.
It's been said that the world's greatest mathematics and physics departments is Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund that only employees STEM PhD's and wont accept any outside investor money.
You've got these three institutions that are very closely intertwined: Brook Haven National Laboratory, Stoney Brook University a middle level university with an out of this world math and physics department and you've got a hedge fund that makes more money than anybody can possibly imagine.
Very plausible - three great teams!

America has an incredible structure for avoiding the Freedom of Information Act. Where we have private companies that are entrusted with secrets that you can't hold in government. So in the same way that a rich person sets up an irrevocable trust and doesn't have any assets - the person doesn't have the assets, a container has the assets. And somebody is in control of the container directing it to make loans which are taxed under different structures (and limited liability) so the person is living an incredibly lavish lifestyle with no assets. Has the government figured out the FOIA issue - "what information, we don't have any information?"



Do you think the government could hide a modern day secret project at or near the scale and scope of the Manhattan Project?

i'd like to think they're too incompetent to do something like that, but check all the wild stuff they got away with in like the '60s. no reason to believe that same government has all of a sudden decided to play it straight with us.
