okay they have their Higgs Bosun, now they have to give me cold fusion that was the deal!

Yes. Cold Fusion(from what I understand) would solve a lot of problems. And it sounds bad ass.

Seriously though, this is pretty major if it is in fact the Higgs Boson, and even if it isn't, it's something new. Great times to come

True.
Except you wouldn't progress on particle physics.

It's always the same thing.

Yes we could. But would we?

I think Eclipse may be disappointed that on the one hand science keeps rolling forward without compromise, but on the other hand we still have imbeciles waging war over oil, bearded monkeys bombing skyscrapers and building nukes, and 1/4 of the world still not able to feed themselves properly.
Of course science compromises. What a ridiculous thing to say. I live in Cambridge and work with many researchers who're on the cutting edge of their respective fields and they are ALL dealing with cuts in funding. Scientific exploration is a far more worthy and useful use of public money than bailing out corrupt financial institutions or paying for a politicians' 3rd home!

the discovery may not have any practical use YET.
but the process of building this massive instrument is already changing our lifes with cutting edge technologies and ultimately jobs and wellness.
One proof LHC-related?

To manage the huge data from the particle accelerators a client-server infrastrucure was not enought.
a new network type was then studied and implemented.

today we are starting to use it more and more,many streaming services already use it,like remote storages and game streaming services.
in the next 5-10 years it will be basically everywhere, changing the whole concept of "computer".
probably even Planetside 2 is using this technology.

it's called... cloud computing...

You do realize there is a political debate section on the forums, right?

Seriously, it's incredibly obnoxious to state your political views in an unrelated section of the forums. On a thread about physics.

When J.J. Thompson discovered the electron in 1897, he remarked that he didn't think it would be of any use to anyone at all. Now look at what this electron has given us, our world runs on electricity.

A lot of people are saying the discovery of the Higgs Boson won't give us anything, but who knows 100 years down the line? Some new technology similar to electricity that EVERYONE needs?
