"First, I don't expect anything relevant to society at large when it comes to doing research on the fundamental nature of reality"

About 10K construction jobs, from high tech to low tech over the life of the build phase of the project, which is overlapping a world wide downturn of unknown length of time.

I mean they could build staircase to the top of the tall hill and still not have it be a waste if it keeps people in work and out of harms way. In this case we may get some physics as an upside to a neat way to stimulate industry.

Surely those 10K construction jobs could be used to build things with much more relevance, maybe things to reduce / mitigate climate change.
