Great minds aren't limited to great cities. Sometimes you find the sharpest intellects among the barren open spaces.
One such staunch science supporter writes a regular column for the Hays Daily News. This week, he focused on the process of science: how the search for knowledge might seem irrelevant to any of our current woes, yet may result in completely new and unexpected solutions.
Take a look at John Hauxwell's opinion, part of which follows:
Obviously this [the Large Hadron Collider] all costs billions of dollars to create and operate. Since we face so many problems with poverty, hunger, war, ignorance and disease, it's not surprising that some people will question the prudence of such expenditures.
It's called "basic science" -- the investigation of fundamental properties of our universe and all it contains.
Why does matter, well ... matter?
