-
we have money for science of such long vision.
-
The only example that comes to my mind is a work by Ray Davis
-
who looked for solar neutrinos for about 30 years,
-
and fortunately his reputation was so strong
-
that funding agencies kept him going.
-
He looked at neutrinos from the Sun for 30 years
-
to be really sure that there was a problem,
-
and he confronted the theorists with the problem
-
and the problem subsequently got resolved.
-
But by and large people published not a paper in 30 years
-
but rather the goal is 30 papers a year
-
is more what you want to do.
