And of course, actual astronomical research.


We are talking about medical research, environmental research, beside from math and any sort of modelization problem possible. The point is not to find the solution to cancer, I've just used that as an example, look at the tons of scientific research that could and does benefit from distributed computation. Why would you assume the solution to cancer is easier to find than proof of intelligent alien lifeform in the universe?
