Its actually scary though - the protons the 'mad' scientists are playing with at 0.999 C have enough energy to punch a hole through tons of concrete - why bother, I do not know, to discover what lies inside the very tiniest fabric of space-time - maybe its time we rename 'atom', considering that it seems simple enough to break it open.
