Thirty Meter Telescope Likely Never Gets Built ... In Hawaii

An anonymous reader writes: After years of its backers of doing everything the state of Hawaii demanded in order to get permission to build the Thirty Meter Telescope, a state judge today ordered that the whole process should start over again. Since this order was instigated by the protesters, and that it appears the government favors those protesters, it appears that there is no chance TMT will ever get approval to build in Hawaii. We've been following the back and forth, back and forth story of this telescope for a while.

The involved believe that the ant-science activists would delay it indefinitely.

Unless there's such a thing as Formicologists, Entomologists is the word you're looking for.

Though why they'd be bothered with telescopes is a bit of a puzzle. Perhaps they're worried that they could be used to fry their subjects.
