Calculating the economic impact of basic science: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2012/06/26/the-unreasonable-tevatron-calculating-the-economic-impact-of-basic-science/ "a saying by the eminently quotable George Bernard Shaw. Shaw said that a reasonable man adapts to society, but an unreasonable man insists that society adapt to him.
