I can't tell you how happy that reply makes me. It's the only answer I can't argue against. It is really cool. I like that large hadron collider even if we'll never be lucky enough to find the one time traveling higgs boson that gives everything it's mass. (I've always thought that joke was funny, that the higgs boson is like Feynman's one time-traveling electron, never get any laughs though...)
