Well, there is no hard and fast reason for doing research except to broaden the depth and scope of knowledge. You never know where the next breakthrough will come from. Case in point:

http://www.scientificcomputing.com/n...ds-100109.aspx

Who would have thought that a mathematical model based loosely on chaos theory would have applications in treating traditionally "untreatable" wounds. I know several diabetics who would directly benefit from this research, yet 10 years ago, people with less foresight might have called such research "a wasteful expenditure of our resources".

Just sayin'.
