This is exactly what the Golem coin/project is all about. It is about connecting all the world's extra computing power to help in these various areas of study. Check it out. I have no investment or connection with them, but I love the idea. It is like the one where you donate processing power to study that stars. I know that this project does not include the mining computing power. It would be wonderful if someone could figure out a way to divert the nonce, to this project for a small fee.
