The government expenditures per year on earth are $14,000,000,000,000 American dollars per year; that’s $14.9 trillion.
The cost to build the LHC was a bit more than $6,000,000,000 or about 0.005% of the earths budget for 1 year.
This is being used to study YOUR origin and place on earth and in the universe.
Note, please, we still do not know what the universe is.
Most thinking humans are curious. Funny thing is , that fact makes some of us on earth actually study and beat ourselves up trying to learn new things to get rid of that curiosity_itchiness. Unfortunately the more you scratch at an itch , the worse it gets. Fortunately earth rewards us with a few dollars to get rid of the last itch. The really good people at this universe knowledge stuff come from many fields of study; physics, mathematics, art, music, literature, philosophy all come to mind quickly. They are a compassionate group and understand your concern , also, for everyday pain that exists on earth. They would not want to detract from your concerns.
