Revealing the mysteries of the universe is a tangible result.




Exactly, that's one part I didn't agree with. :yesnod:

Tangible in what way? A thought is a mear impulse in our brain. Thoughts are regarded second to capitol gain anyways. Tangible would be a cold fusion engine, or a new type of ray gun.

shurley there are people who care about discovery and whole hearted efforts to define physics. What real abstract goals they have for Hadron and finding the missing particle etc. are surely what will be studied and highly regarded hopefully, but someone somewhere wants a monetary return on their 5 billion dollars. And a lot of people in swiss land will be focused on that as well. :thumbup:

I appreciate your sentiment, i just feel like somethings going on. Something with a grave application for our new understanding.

I can assure you they don't. My salary is funded by research grants, and all they expect in return is good science, not money. It's the same all over the world, and it's the same for the LHC.

Which is good! Any other way would discourage true basic research in poorly-understood fields.

INDIAN GIRL COMMITS SUICIDE FEARING THE END OF THE WORLD

A 16-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh allegedly committed suicide after watching news on channels about possibility of the end of earth following the atom-smasher experiment in Geneva that began on Wednesday.

Chhaya, a resident of Sarangpur town in Rajgarh district, consumed sulphos tablets (an insecticide) yesterday, her parents said.

The girl was rushed to Indore's MY Hospital where she succumbed on Wednesday.

Her parents told reporters she was watching about the world's biggest atom-smasher experiment in Geneva on news channels since the last two days following which she got restless and ended her life.

Police have registered a case in this regard and further probe was on.

The experiment is being carried out to recreate the birth of universe and unlock its secrets. Scientists have rubbished reports of threat to the planet due to the experiment.
