Hmmn... how do you clean up a tonne of liquid helium?


Okay, you guys who are in the know... just so I know I get how this thing works... that I have got this right...there are LOTS of magnets in an array that are cooled to 1.9 kelvin to become superconductors that conduct electricity without resistance....used to focus the beam along its 27km path to superspeeds, and two beams are focussed to collide head on....and BLAMMO, the interaction causes the 'God particle' presents itself for inspection. BUT A connection failed and queched (heated up) and thus melted, allowing the liquid helium (that was liquid because its so blooming cold) to leak. Is this how it went down??

So... what will they do once they have proven the existance of the 'God particle??'...to what end will this knowledge enhance the human race other than being able to prove a theoretical particle's existance? Will it be used for weaponry?
