@UltimateLoquendo91 Yes we should!

We should not play at be God...

Can I try this at home?

@spiderheiress The collisions aren't even perceivable by human senses, they are 14 TeV in total which is 14x10^12 eV, one joule is equal to about 6x10^18 eV. Little math and the collisions are equal to about 2x10^-6 joules. So roughly 2 one millionth of a joule. I think a typical firecracker has around 500 joules of energy when it explodes, we're talking about 4.5 billionths of the energy contained in that.

Now just apply this to a nuclear power generator and energy problem solved.

BIG BANG RULEZ! CERN, LHC... the best EVER!

Thing takes protons and breaks them up into even smaller "elementary particles". If everything goes right, it will prove or disprove the existence of the "higgs boson": the source of mass. It also could prove/disprove other theories such as extra dimensions predicted by the string theory and recreate the conditions found shortly after the creation of the universe.
tl;dr This thing is a huge microscope powerful enough it could even find Rush Limbaugh’s dignity.

.......can it go to warp speed?
-
What is supposed to happen when they collide?
thank goodness for really, really, really smart people!
