Has something good come of the first one then? Do we need a bigger one to improve our lives? or is someone just securing future funding? Sorry if im sounding obtuse.

So far most seemingly 'useless' research has led to advances in our understanding that benefit everyone on a daily basis

perhaps we should build the best possible collider that we can on Earth, say 1000 times as big as the LHC, it would save money in the long run.

Build one around the Moon's equator
