Problem with science (research) is it is expensive so it relies on funding from outside sources with an agenda. So true and free innovation is rarely achieved and when it is it is often suppressed.
Hence why we still drive around in boxes with four wheels.- Who else, aside from the government, universities and individual companies, would you expect to fund it?ukit2
