Scientists hope for surprises in Big Bang experiment

considering the possibility of a near infinite return on investment, yes, it's worth it.

if it changes the world like the transitor, steam engine, etc, then there's no real way to argue against it... and even if it doesn't it gets us closer to understanding how physics really works on the REALLY small end of the scale, which will indirectly lead to discoveries and inventions/knowledge that can make it seem like pennies...
