The U.S. government may be forced to reevaluate its spending priorities as more experimental physics labs and other science programs go under and U.S. leadership in the sciences slips.

This should make the anti-science crowd here very happy.

I'm sure we'll all enjoy the coming Dark Age.

I'm sure we'll all enjoy the coming Dark Age.

Or at the very least the nuclear winter, after China decides it no longer needs us to train their scientists.

Oh, come on now. DOn’t be a Gloomy Gus....

IF the boffins had popped out a auto engine that got 300 MPG, they would be swimming in the dough.

BUT, since the ‘product’ they put out means nothing (less than nothing actually) to the ones paying for it, the funding gets cut.

Don’t feel bad, NASA is next....

I’m not aware of any anti-science people here. I am aware of those who follow Christ, but for the most part they are very pro-science, as they see it as the study of God’s creation.

Or was your comment just a cheap shot at those who trust in God and His Scriptures?

Thank God for the Christians, who brought us through the “Dark Age,” guarding the collected knowledge of humanity for a time when we’d appreciate it.

Please direct me to the section of the Constitution which authorizes the federal government to study experimental physics.

"This should make the anti-science crowd here very happy."

I'm as pro science as it gets, but these days, there are better science games to play than particle physics. I'd rather see those dollars go into the space program (as inefficient as NASA is). SOMEDAY, we're going to need to head off some big piece of space junk--or face extinction.

If the Europeans want to waste their money on particle physics, fine.
