RE: Hundred future years of physics at CERN [about my work]

[agmoore]

Thank you, @lemouth, for sharing this adventure with us. Because my training is in history, I kept thinking as I read of explorers in early ages. These explorers had to apply to monarchs for better ships, for cash disbursements to finance voyages. I thought of sputnik, and the early U.S. space program. In that case, the U. S. was 'late'.

"The simple answer is that we are already late!"

I hope governments are able to understand the importance of your work. If you are writing the proposal (with your clarity and passion) there's a good chance they will :)

To get there, there is a couple of sentences from the conclusions of our article that I would like to quote:

One more issue requires a novel approach: while the physics community may agree on this exciting research agenda, it will ultimately have to convince other scientific disciplines, society and governments. [...] Additionally, most of us need to learn to communicate much more convincingly the prospective economical, societal, environmental and cultural impacts of HEP research, reaching a wider audience and using modern communication means in innovative and exemplary fashion. Professional communication to society will become a new required competence.
