(Singing the riff)

Interesting that it looks to be right under a populated area.

We'll learn a lot of stuff from it, but it will generate more questions than answers.

For your bike?
no

For lighter /stronger materials and maybe even a whole new way to power the next generation of motor vehicles?
Maybe

I cant help but wonder if it has its own self sustaining power source, or just shuts EVERYTHING on the surface down when they fire it up.
knowing my luck, they probably tack it onto MY power bill somehow.

Whatever we ultimately get out of it may help us, it may be of no use to us at all, OR, it may end up giving us new and even more insane ways to obliterate our own race with no extraterrestrial help. heh for all I know it may end up being some variety of beacon for an extra terrestrial race that just happens to like playing pin the bomb on the planet.

If you woke up this morning, you are not really awake. You are all jacked into the Matrix because the LHC actually created a blackhole that sucked in half the population (I can dream, can't I?). The remaining of us are being kept in stasis.

This is quite possibly the most insiteful question ever asked, it was asked in a selfishly and narrowly focused manner, but we have to ask, was all the money spent to answer a question that doesn't matter if it is answered or not?

Being a man of science, I love a good experiment, but this thing just seems like someones hobby that will not yield any good information. Much like astronomy, it is cool, but does it matter? How will it help my bike go faster? Crab Nebula? cool, but it doesn't matter.

LHC is mearly welfare for the intellegent, it is a way to pay contractors, scientistics and engineers in a time when the ecomomy is slow.

That's a ridiculous statement...especially considering that the funding was approved 13 years ago in 1995.

I watched the doc...
The 2nd Most powerful particle accelerator you speak of is Tevatron: 7 times less powerfull
Which means this one is 14 times more powerful than the very first one (?) I am really curious about the outcome of this project.
