I guess this is just another one of those silly questions that I find
myself asking.
So now its clear.
It must be a secret antitrust initiative developed by Burger King, Wendy's
and all those who stand for alternatives from McDonalds.

Can someone please tell me what benefits society has received from
collider research?
Howdy Steven,
Central Texas was to be the location of the super collider. Near
Waxahachie, the 25 mile dia underground ring was to be the answer to
everything how to get a Texan elected that got caught cheating at cards to
proof of the "big Bang"( no reference to the Lincoln bedroom).
Later, after the project was started and then scrapped, and the smoke
cleared and the excavations refilled and the cost was tallied and the
markers were called in and the stiffed got stiffed.. then the blame
started. Supposedly Fermi Labs in Michigan felt they were dealt out of
the game so they backed the French program which is to be the grandaddy
of all colliders( even larger than a pileup on a Los Angeles freeway on a
foggy morning.
For the poor old farmer that got pushed off his land here, the word super
collider can get a good fight started in any Waxahachie beer joint.
Super Colliders are obsolete. period!! The science gained cannot match a
Free Electron Laser (FEL). As any Duke U grad student can attest, except
,however, they are sworn to silence by D O D and NSA.. Are there any true
secrets.. not hardly!. Duke bought their FEL including the science team
from Russia. What has the FEL program produced to date?? We don't know
because its under wraps. Rumor has it they can fry a burger without using
McDonald's recipe..
