LHC you guessed it! When they discovered electrons electricity came to be used. What do you think will happen when we (if) discover this god partical? Teleportation? Car Flight? Muah. 
Do you even know what it is they are looking for? They call it the "god" particle, because it is akin to the essence of god in some forms of religion [namely taoism pantheism and panentheism] It's similarity stems from WHAT it is. First, the real name is the Higgs boson. It is a theoretical particle that basically acts as the Luminiferous Aether of old. Basically, these bosons exist EVERYWHERE in the universe, and are mass less but have size. They act as the thing that basically gives things mass [by creating a sort of "friction" that in turn is the result of inertia. ] Picture this: At the time of the Big Bang, when everything was expanding at the speed of light, there was no distinction between matter and energy. Matter had no mass and could travel at the speed of light without becoming infinitely massive/requiring infinite energy. WHY? you ask? because the temperature of the universe was so hot that it sort of "contradicted" the effects of the higgs boson. Because the higgs boson is the reason for inertia, no matter had any mass. then, when the temperature cooled down, it allowed the higgs bosons to start to interact again [degenerating out of the sort of plasma state] and finally level out to a definite level. this sort of even layout of higgs bosons forms a sort of ocean that permeates through everything. the "vacuum" of outer space, your iced tea, even your cells. It is what applies mass values to every quark, atom, cell, every whatever. Now, you tell me what we could do with that. What do I think? nothing immediately. Perhaps nothing at all [barring any inventions/innovations that are got as a result of the new information]. All it would do --and I say this more like "it might not do that, but its still fucking amazing" -- would be to basically prove a major part of particle physics correct, and allow M-theory --the unifying theory of the quantum and the macro-- to be studied further. |

We are all scientific people. We 'are' science. 'Sciency' describes characteristics whereas scientific (i feel) describes physical stuff and theory's. 
See, that's what you get when a person with little knowledge of the subject tries to apply words and phrases to the context. No we are not science, that makes no sense, and we are definitely not all scientific people because some people don't even understand F=ma let alone E=hv or e=mc^2.
F=ma - Force=Mass*Acceleration, E=hv - never seen it b4, e=mc^2 - energy=mass*speed of light(3e8)^2 |

| Well seeing as we already have flying cars and something to the effect of molecular teleportation... I'm hoping for impulse drives or some kind of accelerated, cheaper, friendlier vaccuum transportation. |

| Well i made up a word which i though summed up what I was trying to say. I didn't think scientific sounded right. No big deal. |

Black hole: If there is NOTHING in it, is there still time? You could in theory travel from one point to another instantly. Just a whacky theory. 
A stupid one at that. Where did you get the idea that black holes contain nothing? In fact they are just dense spheres of mass. I think you're thinking of a worm hole perhaps. 
Maybe, I'm not really a sciency person. 
No, that's because a "sciency" person would have used the word "scientific"

| They're probably not even going to observe the Higgs boson. Plus this isn't like that, you won't be able to use this to teleport or anything considering it will disappear nearly a second after it appears. |

| I really don't think we're going to see much like that. The things they're looking for won't really be able to be harnessed like that. It's more just gaining a deeper understanding of how the fuck our universe works. |

| The god partical is just dark matter/anti matter and considering the known defitintion of it alot of things will be possible yes. I doubt teleportation and as for car flight they already have that, just unstable. |
