Yes, we don't really know. But at some point the gamble is just too big. Because the costs aren't just numbers. They represent hundreds or thousands of person-years of effort. You're proposing that a large number of people sh

That "probably" is really more of a "maybe" given the experience with the current big accelerators, and really needs to be weighed against the extreme costs - and other, more promising avenues of research. > If we a

Just as funny as armchair science enthusiasts not being able to fathom that research budgets are limited and it makes sense to redirect them into other, more promising fields when a particular avenue of research is both extremely expensive

"Code" is absolutely the wrong word here. There's nothing executable about it. It's a model . And it will inevitably be incomplete and out of data, because the map is not the territory[1] Of course, the same is true abo

> And it’s clear that the author has a bias against the financial establishment (“monopoly money”), coloring the output. That should have been more than obvious from the domain name and the logo at the top already.

You are making pretty bold and sweeping statements. Do you have a specific example for such a paper that has "no actual evidence", in an actual scientific magazine? Considering author bias is absolute standard baseline practice in

The few people who could read and write were the educated ones - mostly those in power or close to them. So exactly the people you needed to influence to get something done. And of course written texts could be read aloud to those who canno

There might be other kinds of damage where the quicker altitude gain of a normal rotation is crucial for survival. I'm skeptical whether pilots can realistically make this kind of decision, given that they have no more than a few secon
