If Clinton and TX governor, Ann Richards, hadn't scuttled the Superconducting Supercollider in 1984 1994?
Bastards one and all. The SSC would have been only a little smaller than this beast is proposed to be.

Since they want a bigger accelerator they must see behavior that they still can’t explain. It also works the other way. Physicists develop theories that explain some observations, and predict not-yet observed events. They're also looking to cause (or not) certain events that the present state of theoretical physics predicts.

“and predict not-yet observed events”
Yep, all you say is true. The Special Relativity equations explained certain things and also predicted certain things that were only recently observed.
I don’t know that much about particle physics and a lot of other things.

Actual shutdown was in 1993. I messed up the date -- apparently was looking at program start times, instead.
Oooops!

More matryoshka particle nesting? Suppose we fimd out we need a supercollider the size of the solar system to generate speeds high enuf? Suppose we need ALL the energy in the universe to crack matter apart? We will only stop when all phenomena can be precisely defined and precisely controlled. We may run out of space and energy to find out..in the meantime...full relativistic speed ahead

I have occasionally suggested that there's a reason we find no evidence of alien life "out there".
Their civilizations progress until they build a supercollider that's "too big" ...

When the first one pays for itself, let me know.

"CERN lays out vision for next-generation particle collider" It's about dern time. They're overdue for discovery of the Buddha particle.
