Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
A neat tour of the LHC with a few updates as to upgrades, plus lotsa 3D zooming!

I admit it is an impressive toy, but what have the egg heads actually gotten for their $Billions ?

The LHC is a tool to helpfully study the following:
Physicists hope that the LHC will help answer many of the most fundamental questions in physics: questions concerning the basic laws governing the interactions and forces among the elementary objects, the deep structure of space and time, especially regarding the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, where current theories and knowledge are unclear or break down altogether. These issues include, at least:[15]
* Is the Higgs mechanism for generating elementary particle masses via electroweak symmetry breaking indeed realised in nature?[16] It is anticipated that the collider will either demonstrate or rule out the existence of the elusive Higgs boson(s), completing (or refuting) the Standard Model.[17][18][19]
* Is supersymmetry, an extension of the Standard Model and Poincaré symmetry, realised in nature, implying that all known particles have supersymmetric partners?[20][21][22]
* Are there extra dimensions,[23] as predicted by various models inspired by string theory, and can we detect them?[24]
* What is the nature of the Dark Matter which appears to account for 23% of the mass of the Universe?

The Arbourist,
I had to ask. But these are all hopes ? Nothing measurably valuable has yet been achieved ?

There is a huge back log of experimental designs to test with the LHC. Everyone who does high energy physics want a piece of the LHC because of its expanded capacities. As far as specifics go, I consulted google scholar for a partial listing of what is going on specifically with the LHC. It is of course on the technical side, but if you stick to the abstracts it should be OK.
