Great! funny! Yes we probably end up like this.

Those who said that the LHC represents no danger. What could happen in 40 years to come? What if the budget get shorter and shorter? In 40 years or less, they will get all the answers they could have from the LHC, then they'll move to the next machine, and a big hole in the ground full of machines will we just a waste, hazardous waste.

All the answers we going to get! One book telling us the mysteries of the universe and the rest of the research will be used for military purpose.

Thomas Considering the LHC was built into the tunnels formerly occupied by the LEP (CERNs previous super-collider) I think it's quite probable that they'll just build a newer, better, upgraded version of it with more power into the exact same spot again (as they might be able to, considering the time to develop new materials and alloys and whatnot) - or use it as a pre-accelerator to an even bigger one, like they do with linear accelerators usually.
So... they pretty much recycle most of their accelerators or at least the tunnels they dug for them.
Nabil Wow. Not only is that mostly inaccurate, but also, it is poorly worded.
