I can only hope we've reached "the end of the line."
I believe little additional monies should be directed to more powerful particle accelerators until compelling evidence of something worth pursuing comes from theoretical physics. Meanwhile there are many problems where the investment will provide a predictable and useful return.
- maxnoe 8y agoThe thing is, theory can never provide evidence for anything. This is what experiments do.
- giardini 8y agoYou misunderstand: I am not critical of physics experimentation in general; I am critical of the never-ending pursuit of evermore powerful particle accelerators. At this time I oppose further pursuit of ever-bigger accelerators which draw interest and money away from other more productive areas of science.
