Have any of the discoveries at CERN lead to any new technologies or had any real life application and if not could they in the future and what would these new technologies do? Let us discuss this here.

Particle colliders are just for physicists to jerk themselves off creating entirely useless elements that collapse in 0.001 microseconds

So how do they secure so much funding? How are they convincing people it should be funded?

I guess those efforts push the computing industry to some extent.

The government funds stupid pointless stuff all the time. All it has to do is sound cool/vaguely important and politicians will throw money at you.

Cern really was mostly to understand fusion tech. Any other data gleaned from it is a bonus.

Particle accelerators could be used in the production of gamma ray lasers. You know, once someone actually figures out how to build a gamma ray laser.
