Quote: "The funding that supports such advanced particle physics research is drying up, threatening America's leadership role in international science." Based on this statement, I guess researchers from other countries will find out the answer first. Clearly, it does not mean "we may never know for sure why the universe is expanding." Also, if the money is saved, they could be used for other useful stuff. I have nothing to complain, since it is not my own money. I cannot ask other people to spend money to fill my curiosity.
