Well, perhaps one day it may be important. Great discoveries have been made on the backs of seemingly unimportant discoveries or things that just didn't seem to matter at the time. I must admit though, after watching a documentary about that particle accelerator thingy and just how much it all cost to smash one really tiny particle into another really tiny particle, I was left thinking that we could have cured cancer for less. Ah, but, who's to say that discovering exactly what gives energy mass isn't the key to a cure for cancer? Cancer does tend to manifest in "mass". dunnit?

Back in my school days there were subjects I hated; now I look back I realise it wasn't the subject, more to do with either the teacher or the method of teaching. Science for instance, hated it at school; now I love learning things sciency...... anyone else?

Yes, I have two kiddos that are looking to go into the sciency fields and a husband who is well, a doctor. LOL So I have had to drag my carcass into the 21st century and embrace science more or less to save my brain from going dead while they race to the top of science mountain.

Calm down there,chap. How did you get that from show your work? Asking you to elaborate seemed a resonable request. oh yes, a bit of chalk, a blackboard and some fancy maths and the world is your oyster!

Quite so. "Nonsense, proven by math, is still nonsense." And: "the math is accurate, but the meaning gets lost in translation." Even if we can prove that a Higgs-Boson particle exists, it only serves as an analogy, a metaphor, for our current understanding of the workings of the universe. (And I am oneof those smart people.)
And I agree with one of the other posters: I'd much rather see all that effort and money spent on a cure for cancer. Who says that the mass particle isn't the cure for cancer? No-one. But simultaneously, no-one has made it clear that the mass particle could, in any way, be related to curing cancer. The answer is "who knows?" So yes. Hyper Bollocks is right.
