The fact that the LHC was built in neutral Switzerland almost seems like a symbolic nod to it's peaceful intentions.
I am not excessively pessimistic. The last time the end of physics was announced was in the 1890s, just a few years before Einstein's landmark paper on special relativity.

I am not clicking on a link that isn't to a legitimate, prestigious science source or science publication.
If you continue to hijack a science thread to indulge your Trump-loving, Obama-hating rhetoric this will be my last post to you
The Pentagon has no say over research at Switzerland's LHC. If the Pentagon thought a super collider was a strategic defense asset, they would have insisted Congress fund the one that was proposed in Texas.
It's common knowledge that the Standard Model doesn't include gravity. That is why there is a search for a grand unified theory. You are the first poster in the history of JPP I have run across who demands that all of our scientific theories should need no improvement or modification, and we should understand everything about the universe by now.

It's the scalar field that gives subatomic particles mass and prevents the universe from flying apart.
I don't have enough information or expertise to answer that, and anyone on this board who claims they do are lying their fat ass off.How much more money should we put into the LHC?
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015-->Can you name a particle physicist who was given an award?
Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass”
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 -->
François Englert and Peter W. Higgs for the discovery of the Higgs boson.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008 -->
Yoichiro Nambu “for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics”
Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa “for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature”

These morons seem to always forget that we can look stuff up. lol
"If all had gone according to plan, the gargantuan U.S. high-energy physics project would have already found the Higgs particle, having solidly won the competition with its European competitor. Peter Higgs, in fact, might have collected his physics Nobel a few years earlier.
"The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) that would have graced the rolling prairies of Texas would have boasted energy 20 times larger than any accelerator ever constructed and might have been revealing whatever surprises that lay beyond the Higgs, allowing the U.S. to retain dominance in high-energy physics. Except the story didn’t play out according to script. Twenty years ago, on October 21, 1993, Congress officially killed the project, leaving behind more than vacant tunnel in the Texas earth."

I remember the funding being cancelled in the 1990s when I was in grad school, I just had to look up the exact year.
Given what we know now, I am not sure if cancelling it was a good idea or not. Certainly, we have to expect that multi -billion dollar science projects should justify themselves.
During the Congressional hearings on proposed funding, I will always remember a dumb question a representative asked the scientists who were defending the project; the congressman asked if this particle collider could prove the existence of God, he was ready to vote to approve funding right then and there!

I gave up lying years ago.
I encourage you to follow suit.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
DARK AGES SUCK!
