I thought this would be a guide to buying myself an aircraft carrier. Doh.

"Electronics" is ... not a career. Particle physics certainly is not very important on the grand scheme of things. Nuclear physics is pretty important, but your question is so poorly thought out that I don't think anything I say is meaningful.
