if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Of course! The "common" usually have no sense to speak of, especially in large groups. Statistics, however, are by their very nature sensible.

Hahaha I like that. reminds me of this saying "A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to." can't remember who said it though.

Always the rationalist, I am wondering about the cost/benefit ratio of that madcap structure.

What would a better use for the money be.

The cost/benefit thing is a matter of economics not merely finding a place to spend money.  If that most unique sky pool increases the hotel revenue by a margin that exceeds its cost, then it was a good investment. Otherwise it is pure show biz, a take off on the mine is bigger than yours concept.

Just about anything, but it wouldn't be so much fun.  I'm with the cannonball idea.

It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche
