The Michelson-Morley experiment was funded by A. Graham Bell. It wasn't cheap to float a ton of precision granite in mercury, but the government wasn't involved.

Flash forward: If Gates were worth anything in science or technology he could fund this and it would elevate him to an Alexander Graham Bell status. As it is, Gates billions are a joke and everybody knows it's because he is a bright hacker not a genius and his product is not inspired. Let him invest in his Indian labor pool, but to fund actual science? Ha! There are software geniuses, BTW.
