    Why should he release them? Romney did, and all it bought him was a lot of people like you complaining that he took every available deduction he could (otherwise known as "obeying the law"). If he's hiding anything improper, presumably the IRS will deal with him.

    Given that the lawful authorities have found nothing to squawk about, I don't see his tax returns as being anyone else's business. What do think is in them that's germane to his ability to execute his official duties as president?

    Considering we don't even have the technology to get to worlds outside the solar system yet, we'll have plenty of time to debate the ethics of seeding them....

  9. Things get developed when they're needed. They were needed for the colliders before the MRI was developed. Had they not been, likely that work would have been done as part of MRI development.

    Having the magnets available was convenient for the MRI developers, but they weren't a prerequisite. The theory behind MRI was developed independent of collider research.

  10. Re:would geneva turn into a ghetto? on China's Expensive Super Particle Collider Jeopardized By Criticism (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    Not likely. Anyway, particle physics isn't only about colliders. For example, Fermilab, former home of the Tevatron, is now primarily doing neutrino research. CERN will be around for a long, long time, even if they changed their focus away from colliders.

  11. Re:The LHC is good enough on China's Expensive Super Particle Collider Jeopardized By Criticism (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    There's also the ILC, which is in the works, which will probably be built in Japan, and there are plans afoot for an even larger collider at CERN. But if China also wants to invest in a new collider, I have no problem with that. It's their money.

  12. Well, it relies on the magnet technology that was developed as a byproduct of building colliders. Of course, it's not unreasonable to assume that a research project targeted at developing the magnets would have accomplished the same thing, without the expense of building the colliders.

  18. Re:Ars Are Welcome To Try on NASA Announces New Mars Probe, While SpaceX Is Urged To Focus on Launches · · Score: 2

    Agree. There's nothing extraordinary about a rocket exploding. I expect we'll see plenty more of them before the technology is developed sufficiently to rule them out completely. It's not even clear to me that the technology will ever be sufficiently perfect to avoid them entirely.

    Exploding rockets are the cost developing the technology. While unfortunate, it's good that SpaceX is shaking out their technology and making their mistakes before they start putting people in those things.

  19. Re:Yes they do on NASA Announces New Mars Probe, While SpaceX Is Urged To Focus on Launches · · Score: 2

    Exactly what reason do we have to believe it was a lack of focus that was the cause of the accident? It's not like exploding rockets are unknown, and engineering tends to be an iterative process. I doubt this will be the last rocket that explodes for them.

    SpaceX is experimenting and learning. Part of that is going to involve making mistakes and correcting them. It's doubtful we'll be seeing completely safe and predictable space travel in our lifetimes, if ever.
