> What have this thing ever done for the benefit of humanity?
You're using it. It's called the world wide web.

Hey man, did they have to crash small particules to create it?

>>15813018
Yes.

>>15813016
the internet is just an offshoot of networking remotely located early warning radar sites together, euros made no contribution to it whatsoever.

>euros made no contribution to it whatsoever.
European scientists did. Americans are low IQ garbage that can't even tie their own shoes.

>>15813043
You are confusing the internet with the www. They are not the same thing.

>>15813079
The internet used to be called the NSFNet since it was created to support the US National Science Foundation.

>>15813085
And before that it was ARPANET. So what?

>>15813088
The only thing you could argue that CERN had any part in was agreeing (after much hemming and hawing) to allow Tim Berners-Lee to apply his HTTP on their servers. They were dragged into the future by Berners-Lee.

>>15813095
The term 'internet' is used in a much more general and less technical sense than it was originally defined. It meant the infrastructure, packet switching and routing protocols. WWW means hypertext linking, browsers and rich content and so on. But today we just call everything together 'the internet'.

You seem to be the confused one here. You're preaching to the choir.

it's ok, as long as the balls don't touch. don't see why OP is freaking out

Modern x ray image sensors are basically particle detectors that were originally developed for experiments like the ones at CERN. PET scanners are pretty similar, too. Proton and ion therapy wouldn't exist without particle accelerators developed for fundamental research. I'm tired of pretending that fundamental research is just people fucking around.
Also, you're completely ignoring the education and training. Why do you think that google is praying on PhD students at CERN? Do you think it's the only company? Every Swiss bank has data analysis teams with people that did analysis for CERN experiments before. You can keep your opinion about banks to yourself, but even if 99% of the scientists drop out of academia, their knowledge and experience is of great value for society.

I don't suppose he got that name because he TOOK his meds. It's obvious that he didn't.

>>15813136
Most interesting answer so far

>>15813014
It did what it promised to do, it verified the existence of the higgs boson. Its just a tool doing what it was designed to so. As for value, thats subjective, some people think particle physics has no value, others say it has some value. Some people also say theres value in such a discovery but its not as valuable as the economic cost of building it

You are doing a disservice with this type of shilling. Yes yes, kool aid and space pencils.

This doesnt work. Everything else could have been developed without CERN.

it is a byproduct of the process of building a huge-ass linear accelerator
big projects often generate new technologies useful in the civilian world.

the data speaks for itself anon, you are very low IQ. there's genious retards smarter than you

>>15813352
>dimwit needs an AI crutch to spout half-assed low IQ ad hominem
Pure irony.
I like it.

>Uses inscrutable algorithm developed by a literal who and published on the web to judge stuff on his behalf
Unlike you I don't have to consult an oracle to know your brain produces a below average heat signature

>>15813014
I'm gonna collide my HARDON with your anus if you get my gist

>>15813499
Shut up

>>15813016
Yeah, sending Splat Bombs to the future. Now the work is in space dilation; with the Mars rover.

You speak English because it's the only language you know. I speak English because it's the only language you know. We are not the same. I'm sorry that my "IQ" in a foreign language is higher than yours.

So nothing really has ever come from this Big machine huh?

>>15813014
Why is their logo "666"?

>>15813014
Who said it's for the benefit of humanity? And what are you gonna do about it?

that big machine has transferred fast amounts of tax money from poor and middle income europeans to government connected corporations and their wealthy owners, all while delivering nothing of any worth in return

they found one spin 0 particle and claim this particle gives mass to every particle. Except it failed to give mass to neutrinos. Back to drawing table. Sorry goys, you pay for our mistakes!!!!

Nobody forced these countries to become member states. But also, most funding comes from France, Switzerland and Germany.

The meme with the neon green box around an inset image in another image is about pic related SCP-001.
