@transfoby It's the whole purpose of every scientific experiment to find out something that is not known in advance. If you don't understand this basic point, it should be legal to shoot creatures like you because you are just a dumb animal as any other skunk or any other of your peers. A creature lacking any curiosity, intelligence, or human character.
@transfoby By "we", I meant particle physicists, but more generally, I mean people who belong to this world as of 2010 and who realize that science is paramount.
The LHC will produce the Higgs boson of currently unknown mass and maybe many of them and maybe 50 new particle species predicted by supersymmetry, and maybe not. If we knew exactly what the gadget would be doing, we wouldn't be wasting 10 billion dollars by trying to find out, you imbecile. No meaningful experiment knows in advance.
@transfoby Dear transfoby, we don't know exactly what the LHC will create. That's why we built it to find out; if we knew, we wouldn't do it.
That's the whole purpose of it: that's called a "scientific experiment". Haven't you heard about it? All the modern things such as computers resulted from elaboration upon such scientific experiments.
On the other hand, we know what the LHC will *not* do.
You and Mr King clearly fundamentally misunderstand science, technology, and the modern world.
I suppose that if Brian Cox deserves 5 stars and the narrow-minded, obnoxious, senile David King deserves 1 star, I rated it correctly as 3 stars? ;-)
It's really absurd that the office for "advancement" of science has as fanatical science-hater as David King in its leadership.

I think Brian Cox is great and all paople who want to slow research are medieval who don't deserve to live the way we live.
