Your analogy is fundamentally flawed.

More realistically : we can only build one car in the entire world, where a tiny minority of people can even understand the potential benefit, and anything they see will be completely useless for everyone else in day to day life because we need a civilisation level effort to even detect the implications of their theory. If their theory had some real world implications - you wouldn't need this car.

And this is expected to be funded by everyone. It's the modern equivalent of building pyramids.
