Did I hit a nerve there... How will this help the Human Race?
Cars helped, the internet helped, modern medicine(of which going to the dentist these days is my fav) helped, agriculture helped, computers and the internet helped, renewable energy researched helps, understanding the weather patterns help......
How does better understanding the laws of nature and physics, better my life....
Please tell me, so I can try and one day reach a level of intelligence quotient, even remotely close to some of you, and feel good about myself and my Job I got because of that said aspect, and the Steak I am eating, while watching a documentary on the LHC....while our neighbours are starving!!!
You do know the internet was developed at CERN, right? The laws of nature and physics? You mean like gravity and electromagnetism? Yeah, how'd understanding those fundamental forces of nature ever help humanity?
Maybe if we had a time machine we could go back in time and ask Carl Friedrich Gauss how the things he was working on in the 1800's would have helped humanity? He had no idea, but without his work, you wouldn't have had a computer to be working on.
You're taking an incredibly short-sighted view, friend.
Why don't you ask BMW how they can sponsor the Springboks with R40mil while people are starving? Or how a baseball player can get a $275 million (over 10 years) contract while people are suffering?Originally Posted by Pietleeu
