> What meaningful impact would, say, quantum chromodynamics have on the life of anyone other than a theoretical physicist? Its not hard to imagine (at least for me) arcane bits of knowledge that only centuries later (if such hasn't been "lost" in between) became more relevant to others endeavors if one looks to history as any example… our current collective imagination from this present moment of what we know is no boundary on what could ever be known or useful… and for those who could imagine may never live long enough to see what could come from such.
