I do not argue about science.

But I would be interested in the track record of particle science in the last 50 years on improving the human condition.

I'll mix nuclear physics and particle physics, which are close anyway: The www, digital x-ray, PET/CT, MRI, proton/ion beam cancer therapy. Just from the top of my head, certainly not complete.
