I's certainly an interesting question; but what will we do differently if we find that the rate of cosmic inflation has been changing?

There's typically a lot of hidden value in exploring these kinds of things, and I get that, but there's not usually any particular urgency on any of them either.

Also, from the last paragraph of the article, it sounds like this was already on a path towards not getting funded; IMHO, it's not a major shift to get a final letter ending the project when construction was not approved a year ago.

Then feel free to donate to organizations to fund it now, and the rest of us that don't care just won't.
