Back in the days when they first built a computer, scientists never thought that there would be need for anyone other than government or huge business entities to use computers. But now computers have become almost a necessity for citizens of the developed world.
Will the same thing happen for current large scientific projects such as particle accelerators? If you had a particle accelerator, what would you use it for?

Personal Particle Accelerator

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

the amount of components that would need to drastically futurize in order to make a personal accelerator makes it unlikely that they'd ever exist

If I had a particle accelerator that was portable, I'd use it to kill my enemies. No way to trace a proton back to me!
