A quite interesting thing about the LHC is that funding for it's construction came from both the USA and Iran, and it's nice to see places that don't particularly get on come together over something important.

Oh the irony, but yes, monies. I see the higgs boson, it's place on this graph is the same as your PIN number, quick, what is your PIN number?

Quite the opposite actually, when scientists want more funding they say "results are inconclusive" so for them to say "the results are now conclusive" is them essentially cutting off funding on the matter.

But they're not saying that. They're saying that the results are almost conclusive.
Can we build a subspace field around it? Or perhaps otherwise interact with it using some sort of anti-matter or tachyonic futuristic sounding gadgetry?

Oh internet, it never takes you long to sound cynical and cool about something, does it?
Meanwhile, I've got a fair of doubt that they would fund a scientific body from the 50s until today just to study particle physics, and then spend a few billion dollars on a collider and then cut the project off because the teams involved didn't release their results out this very month. It doesn't pass the smell test, though I'd be happy to read any article you could post on the subject.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Yeah, but if scientists were asked if the world exists, they'd work on it for years and then come back and say, "We're not entirely certain, but it's probable that it does." In fact, them saying it's almost conclusive means that it's pretty much certain.
Yeah, that's what I don't understand. Why does a proton have roughly 1800x as much mass as an electron? And why does this change depending on what atom/ion it's in?

I could explain that.
But, first I'd need to go back and get a PhD in particle physics. Then, I'd need you to get at least a Masters in math or physics.

Obviously where you tried to take your claim was supposed to be funny, what with the silly youtube link and all that. But the original claim wasn't shown as part of that joke. Azazel, Corpsesarefun and p_gray99 have all posted in response to that original claim, taking it seriously.
I'm not asking you to do anything about this, it's trivial bs that doesn't need another post. But if you flub a joke in future, maybe think about saying 'sorry guys, tried to set up a joke and flubbed it, my bad', instead of posting snarky little responses.
