US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics
BlueSky writes "A new report paints a troubling picture of the state of physics research in the US, which the authors believe has dire consequences for the competitiveness of the US. 'The report identifies six key questions that will represent the grand challenges that materials science will face over the coming decade, the ones most likely to produce the next revolution. But it also raises fears that those challenges will be met by researchers outside of the US. It highlights the fact that government funding has not kept up with the rising costs of research at the same time that the corporate-funded research lab system has collapsed. As a result, US scientific productivity has stagnated at a time when funding and output are booming overseas.'"
do you realize that conspiracy nut cakes have claimed the last 4 presidents were going to suspend the constitution and become a dictator. With the exception of some giving full control of the US to the UN thay are have three things in common. 1: they all are conspiracy theories that cite bogus and bullshit evidence (like the nds51). 2:) they all never happen and 3:)They all are perpetuated with the intent of making puppets out of fools like you who can then be manipulated to spread fear and hate.
I'm not saying your a dumb fool under the spell of some fictional idea lead by someone who is manipulating you like a tool. Well, yes I am. You need to reexamine the facts and the logic presented to you. What is this magical nds51 that has you so scared, during Clinton's term it was the executive orders and during Reagan and the first Bush it was the triad, Illuminati and a host of other secrete organizations who control everyone in congress and is supposedly behind the revolutionary war for independence, the American civil war and a bunch of other things.
I'm going to use some logic you might understand better, Why would chewbacca live in endore? is don't make sense. Neither do you. Now do you understand?
You cannot be logical or use facts with these people. He doesn't even know how much could have went into those sectors. He is just pulling things that sound good in his head out because he thinks it makes someone look evil.
Try using the chewbacca defense. It will make more sense to him.
