What does knowledge about black holes do for us on Earth?

@BlueMetalChick gravity is the weakest force so and super high gravitation doesn't come into play much with fusion, wind, or solar energy.

@Tastyfrzz Gravitational reactions release a lot more of their potential energy than chemical or nuclear reactions. Because gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces of physics has nothing to do with its potential in creating a power source for us, especially since we'll never run out of gravity.

@BlueMetalChick yes, in the form of dams but Newtonian physics is adequate for that. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cool physics and knowledge but I think there also needs to be some cost justification. Kids can't afford to go to school just to learn how to read.

@Tastyfrzz So perhaps a better thing to reallocate money from might be the eight hundred billion dollars we spend every year bombing foreign countries, or the two hundred billion we spend buying illegal weapons for Muslim terrorists to commit genocide with, or the one hundred and fifty billion we spend bailing out banks and giving welfare checks to wealthy corporations. Perhaps we should stop giving tax exemptions to churches. Those are better ways to find money to improve school systems and increase wages, not cutting into the science budget, especially considering how relatively small it is already. Publicly financed science programs are dying out thanks to privatized shitheels like Elon Musk.
