No it's just the biggest most expensive piece of crap since that giant crap simulator.

Why? Is LHC not esoteric and mystical enough for you?

Yeah, when the hell did we ever get any benefits from the things discovered at CERN?  I mean, it's not like their work was vital in developing brainscanners, or as if the World Wide Web began there.

I think he's saying because it didn't instantly make discoveries that are worth the cost it was a waste. Cause you know how all other research ever done had instant results ...

It's kindof hard to say what the benefits could be, but it could show evidence of higher dimensions (which would allow a sortof faster than light travel), help brain scanners and proton beam treatments for tumours and help with the search for fusion reactors.

Man, wasn't the space programme a worthless piece of crap? All we got from it was some pictures and lots of patriotic bragging.

Sarcasm has no place in this thread (too hard to detect) so I'll take this at face value:
Sometimes science needs prestigious projects to justify the enormous amounts of money it costs. I'm really sorry the space-race is over, the spin-offs of that enormous amount of research would otherwise only be discovered/invented much later.

And all of this other worthless crap as well. Damn those space programs and their major technological leaps.
