What? These are perfectly valid questions to be asking and do not inherently stop you from researching what you're working on. I know some scientists that define their research direction by asking these questions first before pursuing an idea. Many great inventions like optogenetics or expansion microscopy came from this investigative strategy. It can help keep your resources and energy in check. |

Some topics show immediate results (good or bad).
Should we, for example, stop all activities in fusion research because so far nobody has shown that it will work and we already invested billions?
