Clinton killing the SSC was such a disaster. The LHC is still far from what it could’ve done. We could seriously be having attempts all sorts of new technologies by now. Oh well.
Will any technologies result from the theoretical discovery of the Higgs — who knows.
It seems the important thing in the theory isn’t this very fleeting Higgs boson, but a Higgs field — kind of like a magnetic or electric field in that we can’t see it, but it fills all space — in which perturbations can cause Higgs bosons to make their fleeting appearance. The Higgs field, without any of its bosons needing to be present, is theorized to exert a drag or pull upon other particles, a drag that we have classically called the inertial and gravitational effects related to mass. For Higgs bosons themselves to exist seems but a laboratory curiosity.
Antigravity fields might result from perturbing the Higgs field in the right manner... but who knows. Only God does at this time.
