Forbes magazine has estimated how much it cost to scientists searching for the Higgs boson.
A few days ago, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced the opening of a new elementary particle called the "particle of God." The element is very reminiscent of the Higgs boson, described by scientists, Peter Higgs, fifty years ago, cost the taxpayers in the 13.25 billion, says Forbes.
As you know, just for the construction of the Large Hadron Collider during the ten years it took about 4.75 billion dollars, the newspaper notes. At the same time every year the CERN spent at least $ 5.5 billion to conduct various experiments. Another 286 million dollars a year was spent on computer processing. Sam Collider for the year, "ate" of electricity to the $ 1 billion a year.
Of course, not all of this money has been spent on the search for the Higgs boson. Thus, much of the money was spent on the search for subatomic particles and study the nature of dark matter and dark energy in the universe.

- The International Space Station (ISS) - more than $ 100 billion;
- The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) - 12-15 billion dollars;
- Space Telescope "James Webb" - $ 4.5 billion;
- National incendiary installation (NIF) - about $ 4 billion;
- The search for human proteome - more than $ 1 billion.
