Comments on: Boon or Doom: Is That Really the Question? http://henrysthreads.com/2008/09/boon-or-doom-is-that-really-the-question/ Thoughts on Religion in the World from a passionate, moderate, liberal charismatic Christian Tue, 15 May 2012 14:29:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Christine http://henrysthreads.com/2008/09/boon-or-doom-is-that-really-the-question/comment-page-1/#comment-119172 Christine Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:19:04 +0000 http://www.energionpubs.com/wordpress/?p=1512#comment-119172 I agree with your analysis of the public's hesitation to support projects"long term" unless they produce immediate results. That is a very good point and something we all need to guard against. One Swiss reporter asked the engineer in charge how fast they would get results-when will we know if it will be useful? He looked at her blankly as if to say: we are not speaking the same language. As I understand it - even the basic concepts require a certain proficiency in the language of math. I have to rely on our son to translate these concepts. I agree with your analysis of the public’s hesitation to support projects”long term” unless they produce immediate results.

Joking aside, the LHC is a wonderful investigatory tool and one that I hope answers a lot of questions. Personally I'm hoping the evidence for the higgs boson doesn't appear which would only serve to deepen the mystery a bit more. I's no fun being right all the time....
