Yes, I support it. I don't understand the people who are like "only if it benefits the world/me with success, else no!" Particle accelerators are already in use and proven, this is just one which is larger, more powerful, with a greater capability for data collection. There's just no possibility that the LHC will be a failure.

waste of money!
especially when theres 3rd world countries and famine!
What are you talking about? The LHC cost 5 Billion GBP to make. That's nothing in comparison to the global economy.
As Stephen Hawking said the other day: "Both the LHC, and the space programme, are vital if the human race is not to stultify, and eventually die out. Together they cost less than one tenth of a percent of world GDP. If the human race cannot afford that, it doesn't deserve the epithet, human."
Without spending money and time making new scientific discoveries, how does anyone expect us to learn the answers to life's questions which have boggled us for so long?
I believe in CERN.

I heard that it had about the same cost as the Beijing Olympics. And this will (probably) give us some breakthrough information, so I think it was worth it. People spend money like that on lots of useless stuff, and this is something that will last.

yeah its a heeps better use then the olympics that lasts a few weeks this will last for ages and benefit science where as the olympics are just to find out what country is oveall best at sports
