Doomsday predictions aside, everything seems to be running at the speed of light over at CERN. We didn't see blackholes swallowing Europe orbit by orbit and neither have we seen or heard of any weird entities spawning from dimensional rifts.
So, after billions have been spent to find particles a fly wouldn't even notice, what have we got? A very expensive toy comes to mind.
However, like a parent smiling when a kid figures out how to fix a toy and make it better, I'm betting God has a tear in His eye as He watches us try to understand stuff that really won't make Africa bloom or wars end.
It's a toy.
With that in mind I'm starting my very own LHC project. The Lego Highspeed Collider. It'll only take a few billion Lego blocks to construct over a few decades but I should be able to get them free from Lego right?
