What potential benefits to humanity may come from collider research?
Fermilab says:
"By analyzing the stored data from the detectors, physicists make discoveries about the fundamental nature of matter and energy."
"By smashing particles together at very high energy, physicists gain insight into the processes that took place during in the early universe, in the first instants after the Big Bang. Every second, particle accelerators create millions of "minibangs," producing up to a hundred particles in each collision. By studying these collision events, scientists can discover and explore the laws of nature."
