I said, Higgs, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

Higgs, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Two classic quotes are attributed to Michael Faraday: (The Farad, is a unit of electrical capicitance)

Whilst attempting to explain a discovery to either Gladstone (Chancellor) or Peel (Prime Minister) he was asked, ‘But, after all, what use is it?’ Faraday replied, ‘Why sir, there is the probability that you will soon be able to tax it.’

When the Prime Minister asked of a new discovery, ‘What good is it?’, Faraday replied, ‘What good is a new-born baby?’
