Starting my holiday after a busy year so far .... I don’t have the will power to stop looking at twitter so I’m going to go silent for a week or so and recover my sanity! I’ll probably be back around the Apollo 11 anniversary obviously - have a great start to the summer :-)

Good question. They behave slightly differently, although we don’t yet have a compete picture - look up ‘CP violation’.

What’s so bizarre about this is he’s obviously at least trying to read from autocue. Which presumably means someone wrote this for a laugh - Ron Burgundy anyone? twitter.com/thehill/status…

Absolutely correct. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in this whole debacle. People don’t understand modelling, particularly when the response to the modelling itself feeds back into the behaviour of the system.

Again, it is necessary but not sufficient to grow your economy and invest in knowledge and education if you are to address these problems in a sustainable way. Economies are not of fixed size.

I’ve dealt with this arguement a lot over the years on committees. The thing to remember is that science budgets are small and not ring fenced. Scientists sometimes think, naively, if they cancel someone else’s project, they’ll have access to the pot. Invariably the pot shrinks.

The error in your arguement, often made, is that investment in knowledge is just that - investment not spending. The economy grows as knowledge and skills grow and people are educated to a higher standard. As long as government make good policy choices, everyone benefits.

Thing to remember about large projects like Hubble Space Telescope, LHC, Human Genome Project etc. is that they are always controversial and political during design / construction but inconceivable to live in a world without the knowledge / technology they generate afterwards. twitter.com/PhysicsWorld/s…
