    I get the impression that things accelerated to the velocities required by CERN that then collide with each other tend not to leave much of anything behind but fundamental particles.

      fundamental particles.

      Actually, they’re not fundamental particles until approved by a collision with the Senate

        He is essentially correct though, there is nothing organic or generally any compound remaining, only many singular particles. It is like an extremely hot plasma.

                He says particles are left, you say matter can not be destroyed. Not only are you wrong, that is simply not what he said. What should I tell you? Do you even acknowledge that this was never said and you misinterpreted it?

            So are you saying we need to get rid of the ensuing purple flash and probably fart smell?
