Does more scientists actually help? Maybe in some of these examples, the science is bottlenecked by significant diminishing returns.

- tlb 9y agoScience has both diminishing and accelerating returns. Diminishing because of duplication of effort, accelerating because large projects need lots of people. 1 scientist can't build a LIGO detector in any number of years. Across all the disciplines, linear seems like a good approximation.
