An Expensive Theology
In a 20-mile tunnel, using the world's biggest machine, scientists are looking at particles from the first millionth of a second of the universe. Their work has no immediate application. At the same time, other British scientists are struggling with cash shortages, their labs closing down. How should we spend our science funds - on small projects with a practical benefit, or on exploring the beauty of the fundamental nature of matter? How does the Government decide priorities?
