While slow, this methodical approach allows for a safer more certain passage. High energy physics is presently racing ahead so far of what can even be remotely tested (much less confirmed) that it now resembles the coyote from the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show, running on thin air like solid ground... until he looks down and reality magically reasserts itself.<br /><br />Quite simply, government funded science as a whole needs to prioritize.<br /> Funding for applied physics should grow, while money for theoretical physics should contract.<br /><br /> We don't need to dither around with the undetectable inner workings of reified black data holes, useless Ads/CFT conjectures about made up math universes which observably don't function like ours, and magic multiverses which aren't observable at all … these are (at best) make work IMAGINARY problems which don't require serious attention (or money) any time soon (if ever).<br /><br /> We do need to develop better energy production and storage solutions as well as the new materials which will be required to construct them ...as these are ACTUAL problems which require a great deal attention right now in the only universe we can do anything about.CFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-28919131160433527822018-10-27T08:35:58.088-07:002018-10-27T08:35:58.088-07:00Somehow, however long it takes, "There is no ...Somehow, however long it takes, "There is no known alternative" has to stop.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654675777726560464noreply@blogger.com
