If it has the same affect that Thomsons discovery had then the majority of the people on this planet will be affected. If Thomson hadn't discovered the electron then we wouldn't be having this discussion and technology wouldn't have progressed past the victorian steam era. Nearly everything you take for granted today from clean water to lighting, tvs, microwaves, radio, computers, etc all come from the discovery of the electron using a partical accelerator.
