Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] We may not know exactly where that will take us. What exact new results we will find. After all, if you knew precisely what the outcome would be, it wouldn't be research! Those scientists who developed the internet didn't know where it would lead – nor did Newton when he went for a lie-down in his orchard. Science is filled with leaps of faith and journeys where you're not sure of the destination: this is no different. But I am confident the results will be amazing, because openness as a philosophy has never let us down so far.
