why waste money doing this. Why spend billions making 3 atoms of Uuo, when millions are starving. STEM is oversaturated. Get your degree in Communications or Art, and dont have the wool pulled over your eyes

Imagining if they discovered a new orbital in these experiments, many chemists will refer to it as the 'g' orbital--since the s,p,d, and f orbitals have already been discovered and are in the periodic table. The discovery would be ground breaking and possibilities are almost endless

you talk about a waste of money then you tell them to get a art degree. 7/10 made me comment.

I almost thought you were just a bleeding-heart fool. But the 'get a communications or art degree' part gave it away.
#56 to #2 - anon (01/06/2016) [-]
GUYS, HEY GUYS
I THINK THAT MAYBE
JUST MAYBE
SOMEONE WHO SAYS "STEM is overrated. Get your degree in Communications or Art, and don't have the wool pulled over your eyes"

IS PROBABLY TROLLING.
I'M NO EXPERT, BUT MAYBE THAT'S THE CASE.
JUST SAYIN'.

Humanity is driven by the hunger for knowledge and discovery. If you are to stupid to see the value in that then I just don't want to even talk to you anymore.
You disappoint me
goodbye.

Not a waste of money moron. Its being used to make jobs etc. It all circulates. It's not just being burned.

Appeal to bigger problems ;)

The human race's defining trait is the desire to explore and discover. If you aren't curious then there's nothing that can be done.

Drop everything you have and go help the millions that are starving, unless you don't think it's important compared to you browsing funnyjunk.

This is such typical ******** argument
If human lives are more important to you than the advancement of science, sell your pc and do something yourself. You may not want to advance civilization, but the rest of us do.

If we were to priorotise feeding the worlds starving instead of focusing on science, you would soon find you have ended up with more starving people than when you started (due to birthrate **** ) AND with the added bonus of sending the world into an economic darkage because retards like you care more about petty lives than the one thing that matter for humanity - advancing our knowledge about existance and our future. I for one would gladly sacrifice my life it it meant it would advance technology more than i alone have the capacity to throughout my life, yet i would not sacrifice my life to save even a thousand others.

Oh yeah tough guy? But what if the thousand others you would have saved are scientists? hehe
#41 to #15 - anon (01/06/2016) [-]
Birthrate stabilises then declines once mortality goes down. It's why the West has a declining population.
If you'd read up you'd know that, but you're to busy thinking STEM is alpha and omega.

And guess what? More people means more human resources. More potential researchers. Not to mention that we need solutions to hunger if we're ever going to do the entire ******* "spread beyond Earth" thing.
Or even just reducing the resources and space we spend on making food.

You're narrow-sighted.
User avatar #94 to #41 - drastronomy (01/06/2016) [-]
Birthrate stabilizes only through natural progression
that means no foreign aid
Which is the exact opposite of what we are doing

don't drag the whole lib thing into this- this is a hippy we should bring this term back, it describes these 'back to nature' ***** greatly and not liberal. a hippy is to a liberal what a redneck is to a conservative.

agree with your point, though

Not bait, but a different opinion.
Bet you're not used to those in the liberal socialist circlejerk you seem to have walked right out of
#4 to #2 - anon (01/05/2016) [-]
So you are seriously asking why we invest into science that has the chance of unlucking new future possibilities, instead of throwing money into the mouths of starving people.

There's around 7.3 billion people in this world, we don't need to keep them all alive, let the people who can't provide for themselves or the kids they CHOSE to have, die out.

there are brilliant minds among those poor, ya know...
User avatar #55 to #11 - dakkenly ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-]
Brilliant minds that could discover new elements or work in STEM fields making discoveries

Oh wait
#12 to #11 - anon (01/05/2016) [-]
if they are so smart then they can think a way out of poverty, like getting a job...
#38 to #12 - anon (01/06/2016) [-]
Hahah
hah
Yeah no you need a social network if you want to get a job. Which is hard when you're poor.
User avatar #13 to #12 - jii (01/05/2016) [-]
yup. jobs are totally doled out by merit
User avatar #22 to #13 - mordadigsjalv (01/05/2016) [-]
Is that why you got a degree in art?
#25 to #22 - jii (01/05/2016) [-]
**jii used "*roll picture*"**
**jii rolled image** Masters in electrical engineering from an Ivy League institution. 3.89 GPA. Walmart won't even hire me

I hear ya.

You'll be considered to be 'overqualified' for a job like that. Go real upmarket, like Walgreens or something.
