How much money is spent on investigating sub atomic particles and what real

Without quantum mechanics there would be no semiconductors. This is just continued research in verifying or improving quantum mechanics.

Another negative. Science does NOT use any kind of logic in the direction it goes. There is nothing reasonable about it on that matter. The direction of investigation depends on who is funding it.

Or what scientists are interested in. I do research in what I am interested in. Then I try to justify to someone why they should hire me and maybe (so far unsuccessfully but haven't tried much) fund me.

My Dad always wondered at the alck of coordination in the science game. How did I know what to do research on? What if someone else was doing the same? But it is a lot better this way than when the funding bureaucrats decide on priorities IMHO.
