I am asking this question here rather than in some other forum assuming most of those interested in HEP visit this forum.
I personally believe that high energy physics attempts to find answers to some of the most fundamental questions in nature and hence spending huge amount of money for this is justified. But there are others who strongly believe that the money should be rather used for other researches (like materials science, lasers, biotechnology etc.) What will your be to such people?
(We should keep in mind that nations spend huge amount for military purpose etc. If we add the total amount worldwide then it should be much smaller than what is spent for HEP researches.)
