In this era oftechnology developing in high speed, scholars and researchers play moresignificant role than before. And how to make science and technology contributemore and in an efficient way for our society is a big problem to us. It'sdifficult to let all the scholars and reseachers work only for society thoughsometimes this works against their interest. With interest they work moreefficient. Hence it's a wise decision that let them pursue their individualinterests.
As a sayinggoes, interest is the best teacher. As student of physics, I deeply understandand experience to this proverb. When I was studying in problems with greatinterests, I could forget that I'm hungery and even in mid-night I didn't feeltired and sleepy until I finished these problems. In that situation, I justlike a hungery tiger fighting for food. In my eye the quarries problems werethe only thing in my world. I devoted myself in these problems. To think aboutthis how efficient I do these problems. It's needless to say that scholars andresearchers in an unimaging high efficiency when working for their interests.
A part oftheories seemed useless for our society and which had done for scientists'interests, but as the time going its importance for society shows slowly. Takethe quantum mechanics as an instance, at the period quantum mechanics beganEinstein and some other greaters in physics opposed to Bohr and de Broglie whowere founders of quantum mechanics. Masses always followed the greaters'opinion and put quantum mechanics as rubbish. If Bohr and de Broglie gave upthis theory under masses' depression, we could not have some convinience suchas high speed Internet. What are more, heliocentric and Mendel's genetic laware also theories be though useless at first and over time to show itsusefulness. We cannot deny that scholars and researchers' interests are moresensitive than the public opinions and leaders' decisions.
Some theorieswhich have been defined as pseudo-science and some theories which are clearthat will be a danger for us should be prevent from wasting society's sourcesand genius' talents. For instance, alchemy, divination and astrology aretypical pseudo-science which has been proved useless or even harmful for ourhuman beings. As a scholar or researcher, you should not waste the researchfunding from government or some other institution. Nevertheless, your talentsand wisdom may be more important than these funding. Wasting your talent iswasting what God expect you to use to help beings. In short, it's sinner's workto study pseudo-sciences and some danger-for-us theories.
In sum, in mosttime we should encourage scientists working for their interests which may moresensitive than the leaders' decisions. But the pseudo-sciences and sometheories which is clear that will be a danger for us should not be takenfurther study.
