How many cancer cure pills are you going to sell once there is no more cancer?

I don't know, but someone's still selling polio vaccine.

Can't possibly be. There's no money in curing diseases, right? Because the world works just like a Chris Rock bit, right?

But the people who fund this kind of research stand to make a lot of money from this kind of technology. I have a feeling that the same companies that fund particle accelerators wouldn't quite make the same kind of money by finding a cure for cancer.

What type of technology are they striving for???

I'm really ignorant in this field.

Seems like this type of technology might lend itself to weapons or transportation... can't think of much more beyond that???

It's pure scientific research at its most basic, with no specific applications in mind. They're looking into stuff like black holes, the big bang, etc. They created anti-matter there in the 1990s.

Unlocking the secrets of the Universe would be both profitable and good for mankind. If we can harness the power of a star we can solve the world energy crisis. Good. We can build the foundation for interstellar travel. Good. It's a win win situation!

I just hope they discover how the world was made so that Christians, Muslims, and every other group would have less to fight over

They made anti-matter? Will they be able to make anti-gravity soon?
