I'm so tired to read about people saying "How many millions of dollars has been spent on this, why don't put this millions on education and to combat the hungry and bla bla bla" So the question is, why not those people talking about the millions of dollars that has been spent making wars!!!??

This is what about those persons has to talk.

This experiment can change the world! And we can be witness of this!!!!

So it's working, at last :)))

2010 will be very interesting year, can't wait!

Next time you go to an hospital, you just refuse to go in a X-ray scanner, CT scanner, MR scanner or PET scanner. These technologies are invented through research just like the LHC is doing now. Also remove any internet browser since that is also created by CERN.

Sounds like an excuse to spend your money on a jumbojet so that you could eat the "free" bag of peanuts that they give out during the flight

"The phenomenon that they are trying to study will not be something that we can manipulate and utilize from technological standpoint."

You are joking? The very reason that you can surf on the internet is because of CERN. The very reason that you will be surfing very high speed and mass storage is because of LHC. The very reason that new technologies will be invented is because the technologies needed to be invented by CERN. The old TV tubes IS an accelerator.

WWHOO HHOO!! Here up and get the DATA so I can move forward with my theories :P

The phenomenon that they are trying to study will not be something that we can manipulate and utilize from technological standpoint. They only say that it will be beneficial but that is propaganda to make people feel better about spending the tax money.

It's like going to the moon. Yes, it was inspirational but there very few real-world-use advantages that came from that experiment which would justify its cost - probably the biggest advantage being the making of better ICBM missiles.

You say it wont provide a fundamental change to the way we live but even just the smallest amount of data from this collider could provide huge realizations, if this proves or disproves our current physics model then drastic changes will happen, nanotech, quantum computing, hell even computing with traditional methods could be improved since below the 32nm threshold (todays standard) we begin to observe quantum tunnelling, the data from LHC will help explain why events like this happen

boooring.Billions of money and they dont make a fancy shiny lightshow. Heck even a low budget movie makes those displayes more atractive for the noob eye.

Peter Higgs is 80 now. His expiry date is near. Since 1964 he's been waiting for his nobel prize. But we hadn't any instrument to test his theory. so no nobel prize for a theory that is not tested to confirm its truth.

If there's no Higgs' boson, It may be exciting for u but very painful for Higgs who would have to die painfully. Developing a mathematical structure for a theory like this is extremely laborious and thought demanding. No one wanna see his labor to be wasted.

As I'm watching this, I can understand how the people felt when watching the moon landing on TV.
