Scientists who get Quantum Physics, don't get Quantum Physics.
They get Billions in grants to tell people that at the most fundamental level, particles pop into and out of existence, spontaneously. The border between being and nothingness is uncontrolled and we are on one side, baffled at this mystery out of our control, trying to build a wall, to regulate this border to try to forbid mysterious matter pouring in.

Basically, scientists use a lot of public money, to tell us — shit happens!
We don't have a clue why. Just deal with it.
Dr. Carl Sagan makes an interesting case for the public funding of Science.
However, perhaps we the people should rethink our priorities. It's easy enough to live comfortably with privilege, in one's head, ignoring the systematic injustice that affects the have-nots, the poor, disadvantaged, marginalized people, who have no voice in the system.

When the Great Unwashed, the hoi polloi, the ragged, the people on the street are not treated justly in the system, does it not seem decadent to be obsessed with the activities of Black Holes far out in space? It seems like a gilded cage, a distraction.
"The first principle is that you should never fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool." — Sagan.

So this is a call to conscience for scientists to stop peering into the icy depths of space or the vacuum of quantum particle collision chambers, If you do find the answers there, so what?
The person who is hungry does not care what the eggheads are frying their brains on. They just want eggs and sausage for breakfast, because their stomach is growling from hunger, as they went to sleep ( on the side-walk ) without a meal. However, there is no breakfast forthcoming.

Why was this person not fed?
They were hanging on by a thread.
And they just wanted bread.
Are all the bright people dead?
What are they doing instead?
Why were the lab-coats peering into their microscopes,?
Why were the pointy-heads worshiping their popes?
Don't tell me there's no hope!
I got high. Now I got high hopes!
