It is my sincere opinion that the work of these scientists on the Hadron Collider/reaching out into the universe will not equate to anything positive for humanity for centuries. When you consider the sheer distance involved in the universe and what look like insurmountable barriers (how space essentially turns your bones into jelly after protracted periods of time) one has to think "why the fuck bother?". I admire them for their ludicrous levels of science stuff, but I just don't feel that what they are doing has any real grounded value to us in the here and now. That may be an unpopular opinion, but hell, I just feel sometimes that it's a gigantic, if entertaining, folly and in the future they'll look at us and think "what the hell were they thinking?"
