      I think that it already has! The LHC has already allowed scientists to make a few really cool discoveries, like the creation of dense matter (more dense than anything other than a black hole) and discovering and observing new particles. I think it will continue to enable us to understand the world around us in even more detail in the years to come.

      In particle physics, and our understanding of the most fundamental laws that govern our universe, it already has, and will hopefully continue making discoveries for years to come.

    Thank you for your answers! I agree – when I heard about the LHC (when I watched a Storyville documentary about it) it really opened my mind up to the possibilities that will be either proved or disproved in the many years to come; it’s not often that you get a big period in science or physics like this!
