Ok, bloody HUGE particle collider. But it will not, repeat, NOT change the way we view our Universe the moment it is switched on. That gentle process will take some time. Why? Because, dear reader, there will be reams and reams of data to analyze. There will be many, many confounded PIs and their equally mystified graduate students who will run thousands and thousands of lines of code to interpret the volcanic size burst of data on their hands. And a few years, several hundred PRLs and equally many theory theses later, something MIGHT go ping, and some graduate student very, very late at night MIGHT say 'behenchod! Did I just see the Higgs' boson?'. But, no the world will not change fundamentally this weekend.
