Is the DUNE neutrino experiment really being constructed purely to keep particle physicists employed?

[-] kiagam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not finding the video right now, but basically ozempic came from research on 2 different animals and their ways of dealing wth certain proteins. two unrelated topics from decades ago were combined to create the top drug of the moment.

So is DUNE only being constructed to keep people employed? Maybe today. We can never know in the future what their data is used for. Discriminating research by only what can be useful right away is very short-sighted
