Yep that's great I'm all for that. Just wondering if there are any practical applications that they hope to one day achieve, or is it more like sending a satel

  Physicists hope that the LHC will help answer the most fundamental questions in physics, questions concerning the basic laws governing the interactions and forces among the elementary objects, the deep structure of space and time, especially regarding the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, where current theories and knowledge are unclear or break down altogether. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC#Purpose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC#Purpose

    ... or at the very least discover that what we call 'elementary objects' aren't really that elementary. It's turtles all the way down. :)

  "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research." ~A. Einstein To address your question, I am sorry, I don't really know if they have any practical applications in mind. But I am certain (=believe) that practical applications will come out of this.

    But I am certain (=believe) that practical applications will come out of this. As any deeper understanding of the universe inevitably leads to practical applications, I should think.
