So, if it goes ahead, what advances are we hjoping to make from it???

By probing the stucture of mater and spacetime at these levels (The most powerful levels ever done with this collider), we'll learn a lot about the laws of physics. We can finally put to test some of the equasions that up till now have been untestable because we didn't have powerful enough colliders before this one. Advancements in physics have led to advances in everything from computer to space technology. There's almost limitless scientific advancements that can be made from these studies.
Heck.. just a short while ago, a quantum computer (A computer chip the size of a molecule that or even an atom) was a thing of science fiction, and now we have people building them. We now have spacecraft flying through the solar system with ion drives. All possible by probing and experimenting to prove/disprove our current laws of physics. The thing is.. to test a lot of the theories requires high energy collisions and observations of the aftermath of such collisions.
