>>11780783>Has the Higgs-Boson been applied to anything?At any given time theoretical science has to be drastically removed from interests of the consumer market.
Imagine a world where of every physicist it was demanded that he invents a possible consumer product before he gets to investigate a phenomenon.
We would literally be still sitting in the stone age...
Newtonian mechanics was at one point just mental wanking by a crazy virgin. Now it is literally the backbone of civilization as we know it.
And even if the Higgs-Boson would literally never find any application, so what?
Understanding the world should be motivation itself.
