The LHC will whizz protons to 99.9999 percent of the speed of light in two parallel beams in a ring-shaped tunnel 27 kilometres (16.9 miles) long and up to 175 metres (568 feet) below ground_______________________________________________________________99.9999% the speed of light, Hmmmm. Probably long enough to finally capture that wascally Higgs within the first few moments after ignition. Soooo, What do we do with our Billion dollar investment after it proves itself the first day ?............Why that’s easy. We keep turning it on and off untill we actually DO produce something detrimental, Silly people. Failed Diplomacy be Damned. We got to much money into this thing just for one shot !
After spending that much money, you can be certain that the scientists won’t admit that they still couldn’t find the Higgs. They’ll “find” the Higgs one way or another.
