"Professor Hawking said that the collider is among the greatest technological achievements of this age, and that such study of basic science might eventually have important practical spin-offs.
“Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the Universe, rather than for practical applications or commercial gain. But their discoveries have later turned out to have great practical benefits. It is difficult to see an economic return from research at the LHC, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any."
People should listen to the smartest man on the planet.
