That joke is so 2009
'm just bored by people reading about some science thing they don't understand, and all the sudden remembering all those "urgent matters" it should be sacrificed for.
What's the current price tag on JSF development, 300 billion? LOL. The LHC cost about as much as the new train connection between cologne and frankfurt. Guess what people will remember in 100 years? That we found some fundamental principles behind the laws of nature, or that I can go to frankfurt airport in an hour from my house (yay!).
The money spent on building a supercollider all goes into the know how of privatr contractors getting experience building machines to specifications hitherto unknown to engineering. It goes into the education of thousands of phd and master students who go on working in IT and industry, and tech companies having better materials, electronics, worldwide next generation high speed networks.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
