If you could conduct a daring science experiment in any field of science, what would it be on?

How about the re-establishment of the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) in the US which was cancelled, (budget concerns??) This was proposed to be much larger then the current LHC. How far were they into it before construction was stopped? Is there any chance/hope of re-commencing construction? What was the actual size? How much more insight into the early moments of the universe would it have achieved in relation to the LHC and the Higgs?

SSC

The Desertron!

Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeVper proton and was set to be the world's largest and most energetic. It would have greatly surpassed the current record held by the Large Hadron Collider which has ring circumference 27 km (17 mi) and energy of 6.5 TeV per proton. 

Chemical company Magnablend bought the property and facilities in 2012, against some opposition from the local community.

I would take 2 large, diverse groups of people.  Have one group eat a strict, healthy diet and get regular exercise, and the other group encouraged to eat all the junk foods they want and no exercise required.  After 20 years compare the difference in overall health and the expense for their health care.
