A few days ago the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was finished. Pretty rare no one started this topic. What you guys say about the LHC?? I hope they find the Higgs Boson and find a lot of the mysteries of the Big Bang and the universe.
Here is the http://science.howstuffworks.com/large-hadron-collider.htm" article about the LHC.
I found it pretty interesting and wanted to hear your opinions about this billionaire project that has apparently no practical application, yet.
