Well that's actually a logical question. If you need a multi billion dollar collider size of a small town to even observe these events it's not likely to get practical use any time soon.

We don't need anything to observe the effect of 'mass'. We may need a multi-billion dollar machine to observe a tiny little thing happening at the middle of the effect so that we can better understand it.

What you're saying is like "if this watch gear is too small for me to touch, it's too small to matter".

No, if watch gear is too small to have any observable effect no matter what I do - it's irrelevant.

You work very hard at maintaining your irrational thoughts.
