From Jeff Dickens In his letter, Brian Robinson says that, during a time of austerity, a hiatus in pursuit of the mysteries of the cosmos would not matter (28 January, p 33). I struggle to find anything that matters more. On a practical note, I can think of no greater depressant to scientific education, and hence alleviation of austerity, than a world in which we remove the point from the pursuit of science. Does Robinson really wish to contemplate a world with fewer doctors, engineers and scientists?
