Michael Doser, CERN, AEgIS, Geneva, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out?”. He says it’s so difficult to have a good, fundamental idea. So when you have a good one it’s worth to spend 5 or 10 years to carry it out. And as he has had 2 or 3 good ideas he carried out almost 100%. Check out the rest of his answer. His conference talk was about anti-matter: If apples fall down, do anti-apples fall up?
