Yeah, let gamers loose on false vacuums and dark energy. That would save a fair bit of brain power in Universities.
Reminds me of the story about people solving protein folding puzzles mentioned here https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/25/online-gamers-solving-sciences-biggest-problems
Yeah, if they can help AIDS like viruses, then why not make an app that contains all the most important problems the world needs to be solved? Great idea.
