So does this mean that they essentially used 10 Billion dollars to find out they were all wrong?

No. First of all, it will prove many people wrong, not all. -Like Steven Hawkings. :)

But secondly, the LHC will be used for other things too. The Higgs question was a big one though.

I hear that the LHC also makes _amaaaazing_ smoothies ... but that they are very small.

This is a really fascinating development, but I'm sticking with "turtles all the way down." Actually, I'm looking forward to digging into your theory of gravity vs. entropy (finally, an epic confrontation!), to the extent that a scientifically challenged person such as myself can.

Also, it's sad the Higg's is running out of places to hide. If anybody sees him, tell him he can come by and stay at my place.
