Disappointing. I just hope everything goes right next time round. I've recently been reading up a fair bit on some of the things scientists are hoping these experiments will shed light on, if not confirm or rule out - supersymmetry and string/M-theory, the Higgs field, hidden dimensions, etc. It may take years to analyze, but right now I feel like it can't come soon enough, so the sooner these collisions start back up, the better.
