The computer you are using right now, it is here thanks to quantum science, so is your microwave btw
And that ultra fast gaming laptop you have your eye set on (you or anyone else), is there because of scientific breakthroughs made in the last 2-3 years.... as are solar panels, heatpumps, modern cars, etc...
The research done at the colliders and other facilities is what is going to make our lives better in the future
...Making our lives better in the future.. You mean like how it has made our lives "better" in recent times? Because i dont think its better. Does making our lives better mean to completely cut ourselves from the surrounding world, and trap us in an artificial one? I think it was a mistake to climb down from the trees, everything snowballed downhill from there.
An evolved and intelligent species lives in balance with its surroundings, because you know, its smart (not smart like your phone but for real smart)
We are the opposite of that, with or without solar panels.

I my friend don't thank anyone for these horrendous inventions. Go outside and enjoy nature. I usr this as a tool because its all you screen blind people? See

I've been hearing that today 1pm eastern time that they are firing up CERN at full power for the 1st time .

Did any of the CERN team survive neingfired up at full power ?
I think everyone means the LHC .
CERN is the research teams .

What could happen and whats the goal anyone got any input
Small black holes or time shifts ?

I think there are only negative aspects in technology.

You are seeing only one negative aspect of technology. I don't like most of the Internet, social media and how it changed people either....
I personally would not want to live in the trees, or give up modern comfort if I don't have to.
What about medical breakthroughs? Not meaning recent vaccines, but cancer treatment for example? Or prosthetics connected to a neuro-link? Laser and robotic surgery?
If not for science I would have been dead years ago!
I cheer for science and hope they'll only do good things with it (but I know they won't... not yet anyway)

I believe the human species is a perversion. Organisms, especially mammals are supposed to be molded by the environment, not the other way around.
An intelligent species does not actively seek to destroy its surroundings.
Medicine? No, one dies if one dies.
If you look at how we are "evolving" right now, the result is a human in artificial or digital form, not even organic in nature. We will end up floating in space, alone, with no feelings, stored as data in a metal cube.
Now would you rather grow a fur and eat a nice papaya instead?
I would, all day long.
