Why is there so much time and money wasted on silly research?

There are so many organisations out there that a desparate for funds into legitimate and worthy causes like cancer research. Why do people and governments keep on pouring money into researching things with no benefit towards human or animal society

Why is there so much time and money wasted on silly research?
Research is kind of like a 100,000 (or more) piece puzzle. Without one piece, it's impossible to know where others go.





That shower curtain research, for example, could lead to more knowledge about the ways weather systems evolve in the atmosphere over tropical regions of Earth. Which could lead to more advanced hurricane prediction. Which could lead to better building codes. Which could lead to less damage following a major storm. Which could lead to less need for federal recovery assistance. Which could lead to more money for the federal education budget. Which could lead to lower tuition costs at universities. Which enables more kids to go to college and research shower curtain motion.
Reply:I don't see how much more they can research cancer.





They'd be better putting the money somewhere else imo.


Anyway, I agree with you though, there are studies being funded to see why nobody seems to like green jelly beans and all sorts of pathetic things like that. Try writing to them Report Abuse

Reply:Like the guy who researched why the shower curtain sucks inwards during a hot shower!! Also I get annoyed when celebrities have $6000 handbags and that is about the same cost for 3 months of chemo therapy for a small child. :(
Reply:why did you saying like that? exploring and researching in the past days gives you , your country, and medicines for your healthy life they can give more things to the humanbeings at least they dedicated their life to our well wish your spirit of research should come forward an inspiration should takes root in your soul and once you get some success in your research, it will really a serve to god money never come in this way without human being what you do with the money?
Reply:What exactly do you call silly research? How do we find newer and better things without it? People thought that space research was silly until it resulted in improving medical treatment, building materials, and water purification systems.
