How is the world better off now than it was before this war started?
We're now one click away from WW3.
This is interesting, more theories and more avenues of research. Cosmology is indeed fascinating and we, the jocks, revel in this. The more to learn, the more to find out! How exciting! And what marvelous instruments science puts at our disposal. Surely it will be talented, dedicated, determined people - space jocks - who will investigate this fascinating field and marvel us with new insights! Meanwhile the whining nerd will be relegated to the lowest ladder, his teeth kicked in, his head toilet-flused, his face beshitted.
