Question: If you had all the money in the world how would you further the research into physics?

Ooooooh this is a tough one… It would have to be something that would benefit the public and all of mankind. I would love to spend it all on exploring space a bit more and sending up more missions to colonise the moon and mars and any other planets we can reach but would this really be good use of all the worlds money? It’s pretty selfish 😛 haha I guess it would go into researching new greener, sustainable energies and technology as thats a serious problem we will encounter in a few years (and if you are thinking about a job in physics or engineering these are the types of jobs which are popping up everywhere). I would also put some money into cancer treatments (as we use particle accelerators for those too!)
