From Brian Robinson
Jeff Dickens, responding to my letter about a hiatus in the quest for cosmological answers, missed the point (11 February, p 32). The science I question is to do with the massive expense of cosmology and probing for the secrets of the universe.
I did not advocate the removal of the point of science, but a particular point of it. There are more important things – cures for disease, hunger and poverty – than the pursuits of cosmology.
