Of course one can walk away from knowledge.
When someone realized the consequences of learning how to split an atom, that was the time to think about it and perhaps close shop and go down the pub for a drink and game of darts instead.
Though it would be nice if science or anyone else for that matter just stopped occasionally and said to themselves; "Should we really do this?"

That's not a bet that's a given. LoL
Humans love to advance new and better ways of killing and controlling one another, been that way throughout recorded history.
Perhaps I should have said: As soon as we realise where something can go. Like when driving our car on a saturday night and realising that our shortcut off the freeway will take us through that really bad part of town. Sometimes it is not too late to turn around.
However if, as Athlonsavage suggests and this is a case of replicating the technology of the ancients,
So at lattitude 0 Velocity = 2*Pi*6371000* 7.489 * [Cos0/(1-Cos (90-0))] = 299792458 *[1] =299792458

No indication, whatsoever, that it is.
While using numerology (badly done) and math (done worse, if possible) to do so. Perfect.
Really it is just a case of the thread looking in CERN's closet for skeletons.

But it is is Skunk Works. So I will acquiesce
(smile) Geez your really trying to pin me down with reason here InhaleExhale.
So just in fun, I'll take inspiration from your user name and suggest that science should learn to just stop and inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale, then think about what it is doing.
However if, as Athlonsavage suggests and this is a case of replicating the technology of the ancients, we should wonder why that civilisation no longer exists.
