This Wednesday scientists will work to recreate the big bang

No, because by matter/energy's own properties, things are probabilistic in nature at those very small scales. Having a uniform theory of everything wouldn't eliminate the properties of everything behaving as a probability wave.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How do you think this kind of discovery might apply to computer-aided modeling, though? Does it help in any way, since they're still using mainly classical mechanics to deduce general movement (since systems like proteins are much too large for quantum mechanics).

Well, that's the thing. Once you get to large enough stuff, you don't need to use quantum mechanics anymore. Like, you can use QM to figure out the uncertainty in a baseball's position/momentum, but it's so small in relation to its other values that it's inconsequential. Just like how you can use general relativity to figure out the length contraction a baseball undergoes during a pitch, it's so small that it's an insignificant amount.

I'm not actually sure what practical uses the LHC will have. I imagine most of what comes out of it will be theoretical stuff that maybe in 5-10+ years we'll see something worthwhile come out of it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
