I would trade (as if I have any say lol) every single breakthrough they have made in math/CS for _any_ good progress towards a universal cancer cure (very theoretical, I know).

I'm kinda hoping they are investing just as much into that type of research. Its their money but man... I'd say 999/1000 people are unaffected by all these breakthroughs. They probably have no idea tons of legendary math/CS conjectures were proven true/false. If a breakthrough in cancer research were to be made, it would very quickly start effecting everyone on earth.

The money would be better spent trying to breed a flying unicorn, because that's remotely possible.

"Cancer" is not "a" disease. It's a symptomatic description: cells in your body multiplying beyond a limit that is healthy for you.

What you are asking for would be like asking for a universal cure for headaches. What if your headache is caused by a tumor? Or a nailgun injury? Or psychotic hallucination?
