Come on, Set — EUR15Bn, or whatever, spread across x countries over y decades is chump change for governments if they..
a) think it will act as a bridgehead project to form political unification
b) know that every previous such endeavour has resulted in ‘new science’ which has led fairly directly to evolutions in technology and bigger GDPs, industries and knowledge economies.
I'm hella ignorant about all this, but I do know enough to know that most of the scientists don't really know what'll come of it either, with competing theorisations and philosophies in the vying. All they know is that it's worth effort and is a necessary function of modern humanity, so headlong into it they go.
I mean — where the fuck's the profit in the Hubble telescope? It needn't be about money, but it is about the enriching.
- I really am bored.detritus
- how do you access the knowledge directly? what is withheld or filtered to the public?yurimon
- Everything is ‘filtered’, Yuri, but that doesn't imply that anything is hidden.detritus
- not saying its hidden, but for the most part every photo allowed to be published goes through the security apparatus,yurimon
- my only concern with these type of findings if they publish what is true. example. the flat earth concept was official response to trying to suppres Christians.yurimon
- someone kept the round earth concept even though established for 1000's of years to themselves. pushed an acceptable reality for purpose of controlyurimon
- I suspect the entire Christian doctrine was more of a blamable control mechanism than the not-universally-acce... idea that the Earth is flat.detritus
- *-accepteddetritus
- the point, is how much knowledge and implementation of that knowledge is allowed for regular people, there is still a control factor for not accede the systemyurimon
- You have access to more information than anyone before you did, ever.
Physics = Science = Knowledge with a Kapital K. That shit doesn't get hidden.detritus - where's the evidence they hid the fact that the earth is round to "control" people?yuekit
- It's funny the amount of imaginary conspiracies people invent. I guess it makes the world a more exciting place.yuekit
- Can the hubble space telescope be used to monitor the earth's surface?Jeremyhead
- yuekit, try to see what happens if by knowledge and technical means you become independent from the system and others could replicate your enlightenment.yurimon
- alot of too smart have fallen historically, not a conspiracy.yurimon
- as if you would know what to do with that data even if you had direct access to itmonospaced
- mono, that is such a demeaning thing to say to someone.yurimon
- well it's true none the less. i agree with detritus' point here. it's not a matter of disclosure unless you want to make it one. it's a matter of should we fundgilgamush
- these expensive projects. it's only demeaning if you are some kind of physicistgilgamush
- Again, oh to live in such a black and white world where one imagines one knows all there is to know.set
- I wasn't trying to be demeaning, 99.9999999999% of all people wouldn't know what to make of the raw data eithermonospaced
