>>You bring up particle research as if it's uninteresting

I never said that. And my comment was NEVER intented in that way.

I just wanna say that scientists should focus on inmediate necessities. It's a shame that most people in the world is stll interested in drilling and petroleum extraction technologies, while there are other alternatives of less-polluting energy (including research to use corn, ethanol and stuffs) that no one wants to invest on because those are potential treats to a lot of economical interests.

Same for materials. Everyone's now like crazy because some of steels' main components are becoming harder and harder to produce / find, instead of trying to recycle most of the steel used (no, most steel companies don't give a rat's ass about that) or finding substitutes like the aluminium (which, I greatly bet, will pass through the same problems steel is right now because of industrial irresponsability).

So there.

Oh, and scientific community should try becoming more centered and stop with all that "zomg everything can be explained objectively". Our 3rd Dimension perception of things is far from being enough to understand a lot of things in this universe.

Even if the media doesn't tell it, I've heard from some professors and people from here that the LHC project thing has been put into a halt a lot of times because it has some problems (including security issues), and even some people don't really believe the experiment they're planning is safe. Of course, official media will tell the opposite but heh...
