Einstein, is like many science projects out there, it may not have any immediately recognizable results, funding may or might not often be sufficient because nobody is going to spend money to watch scientists do their thing (yet we spend abundant amounts of money on "entertainment").

Science brought us and continues to bring us many things that make life better, such as electricity and electronics, which spin-off useful stuff like the telephone or the computer, or medicines which render past sicknesses into nothing worse than a common cold.

Science has made possible things which would be otherwise unlikely such as put a man on the moon, satellites in orbit, or take us down to the deepest oceans and much more.

Einstein may hopefully tell us more about our neighbouring stars and it is an interesting pure science project worth running with your spare computer cycles.
