I expected to see cheap supersonic flights around the world, spaceflights for ordinary people, and big and powerful particle accelerators. After getting my Master's degree in physics I started to realize that there is no proper funding even for the cheapest projects. Lots of skills and brain power gets lost because there are no enough jobs available for everyone. Big science projects would bring lots of news jobs and innovations. We need new innovations to solve the problems of everyday life (water, energy, poverty, food, education, health). Big science projects will solve these problems, but not without proper funding. The purpose of this petition is to make almost unlimited funding for science possible. " Nice idea... Never engage stupid people at their level, they then have the home court advantage.....

Big science projects will be an economic boost like the Apollo project lead directly to the micro-computer, oops nowadays we call it the PC boom. All computers idle at the same speed. ID: 1394633 ·
