Max Görlitz's Shortform

What have been the longest scientific experiments? What would be worthwhile 25-year experiments?

I want someone to write an actual post on this but would also be happy to hear some initial, short answers.

I remember reading something on this or hearing these points made in a podcast but can't recall the source!

1niplav2moThere's a long-ish exploration of this in Grand Futures [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42275384-grand-futures] ch. 1 (Details box 7), focusing on long-term projects in general. I'm eliding some footnotes and not linking the citations, for writing speed reasons: I would add the (finished) ig-nobel price-worthy knuckle-cracking experiment [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crack-research/] by Donald Unger.
Has anyone written a short history of the new science/better science movement?

Thanks, this is useful! I know the Convergent folks but wasn't aware of Speculative Technologies. The article looks interesting but is, unfortunately, paywalled/sign-up-walled.
