    If you look at history, a lack of potable water has been a huge problem. In many cases I would bet that the milk had less microbes in it than the water.

    That's bullshit. Most of the Nobel Prize winning scientists of the last century were from the US, and only a few of them fit your description.

    Bullshit. I gave up my career as a chemist when I had to share my work area with a India PHD making 35K per year. In NJ. That won't buy you a sandwich. Treat scientists like professionals and the rest of society will fall in to line.

    Yeah, his name was Clinton.... remember the SSC? I personally saw several physics departments gutted after the funding was pulled. The money just didn't go to texas, it went all over the country where students worked on things like new detectors and software. I don't necessarily agree with 'Big Science', but the funding certainly wasn't diverted to smaller projects.

    TFA states that the axion supports the standard model. Silly string theorists will just change their model to accomidate the axion, something they do regularily.

    "They didn't know how to handle the detector for short-lived particles," Jain said. "I knew that for this very short-lived particle -- 10-13 seconds -- the detector must be placed very near the interaction point where the collision between the projectile beam and the target takes place so that the produced particle doesn't run away too far; if it does, it will decay quickly and it will be completely missed. That is what happened in most of the unsuccessful experiments." Instead, Jain used a visual detector, made of three-dimensional photographic emulsions, which act as both target and detector and that therefore can detect very short-lived particles, such as the axion. However, use of such a detector is so specialized that to be successful, it requires intensive training and experience. In the 1950s, Jain was trained to use this type of detector by its developer, the Nobel laureate, British physicist Cecil F. Powell. Jain has used it throughout his career to successfully detect other exotic

    Thats a nice observation but when the SSC funding was pulled it isn't like that money went to fund benchtop physics, it just vanished. Funding for basic physics research in the USA has be pretty pitiful ever since.

    Optically black paint is also problematic, as it chips off and gets into the optics. This would allow a black coating with zero contamination.
