It will also create new jobs, and alter the economics of how the workforce is distributed in existing jobs.
However, the fact that the Luddites have always been wrong does not guarantee that they will be wrong this time. With existing technology it does seem to be the case over the last few decades that society does not need 40 hours a week from every able-bodied worker, so some adjustment to the economic order may be necessary, like how the work week was reduced from six days to five days.

Driving a taxi or cooking French fries are, technically, productive contributions to the economy.
(Banking, although necessary, is not actually productive in an economic sense.)
Where you said "romantic breakup that pushed them over the edge". Lifestyle choice. Emphasis on 'choice'.
So, the short version is particle physics is exactly like every other profession in today economy?
Probably someone will think this means disproving creationism should also be illegal...
I would assume it's equally illegal to teach people to follow the law (thereby unfairly depriving the prison-industrial complex of revenue).
*People* aren't dumb, but we're talking about the US government, which is run by corporations and has no humanity.
If you get in the fight you lose to Russia, China, Iran, Syria itself, Palestine....
I wondered what kind of black listing the Canadian Baseball League was up to.
Not identical, but not that different either.
The purpose is to have an impressive-looking budget to create the *appearance* of Doing Something(tm).
They achieve that more effectively by not spending the money sensibly.
Open source is easy stuff like newspapers from other parts of the world and other forms of public record.
It just takes one bacterium.
Given the customer response to 3-D movies, I'm unconvinced there will be a consumer market.
Though in special cases, like remotely supervising surgery, it could be extremely valuable.
It sounds better to say you were outsmarted by someone brilliant, rather than admitting you were negligent in your job.
Of course a new technology will destroy jobs.
