New elements are created by heat and pressure in nebulas, which themselves are created from the explosions of stars. Elements are "cooked up" in the thermonuclear reactions at the cores of stars, and the heaviest elements are created in that fashion. The other rare and trace elements are created in stellar nebulae. At best, a collider is only good for analyzing how specific particles fuse, or giving researchers a bunch of particle fragments (subatomic particles) to analyze. It yields very little in the way of usable data which can be applied to anything useful.
You know, there is a HUGE incentive to petition for research funding. MILLIONS of dollars, the involvement of universities, and creation of jobs for those specialized scientists who would be unemployed if it weren't for these type of projects. I mean, a God particle? And they will find it in a supercollider on earth? SERIOUSLY? Why can people get money to look for a "God particle"?????
