    I'd take a different view than most of the responses so far. The spin-offs and unexpected benefits are 'nice to have', and maybe essential for our species survival in the future, but the bigger questions are more important. Why does anything exist at all? Why isn't there just nothing? I think that we should explore every avenue - physics, cosmology, philosophy, whatever, to try and arrive at an understanding. The grave is waiting for all of us, and I'll be a bit miffed if I have to go into it with these unanswered questions.

    If your curiosity is ontological nature of reality (the bigger questions), study metaphysics.

    Alright then. You go that way and I'll go this way, and I'll bet you this jam tart... that I'll find a tractor first.
