This is grant milking. Nothing more than that.

Incorrect. That never happens. You may as well rename this board to /sci-fi/

Overunity is powered by unicorn farts and grant proposals.

OP, you need to come to grips with how, "grant chasing," is done. Promise the world, get the money, stretch out the results over your entire life time so you don't need to do anything really difficult. When asked for results, ask for more money and more staff, show investors charts. The content of the charts doesn't matter, they just need to see something is being done with their money.

>Do you know how costly FTL is?

Zero cost because it is and will always be science fiction. However, theoretical physics is a great field of study where you can actually get funding for completely made up bullshit and try to prove or disprove it can be done. I'm sure you could string along investors for decades.

Except you can't get funding for new research if the people who give money think you haven't done anything worthy of their attention.

Grant Chasing like what NASA does isn't about results. It is about stringing things along for as long as humanly possible without getting fired or budget cut too hard. Do not listen to NASA on anything in the modern age. The private sector is the only thing that matters now.

Ah, you are going to see the main base of the Grant Chasers. Nice.

It is nothing, but the best method to acquire grant money. People make entire careers grant chasing.

Blackholes don't exist so something that is also made up based on something that doesn't exist also won't exist.

HOWEVER! I'm sure you can get a grant to explain all the "holes" in blackholes. Or, I suppose you could fuck off and do something else with your brain power and grant money that will actually help humanity.

Grant chasing scum. Do something important for the human race instead of chasing unicorn farts and wasting billions in currency and the finite resource 1000s of extremely intelligent peoples who should be working on something worthwhile.

>fuck this spot in particular

All these grant-chasers leaving out, "that will be of actual use to humanity" part.

Oh yeah there's a shit load we can still learn, but it will mean fuck all to the human race.

That isn't real science.
