    I'm not the original person you responded to, I just found your reasoning incorrect in asking for "ways it'll help" as if that concrete answer can be given easily without deep expertise. Or even as if that can be said concretely. It's missing the way the dialectical movement from quantity to quality works. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a hundred years, fundamental research into the particles instead finds a contradiction in the way we understand them which can be exploited for energy. We have many precedents for that at every major "level" above that.
