The government should support scientific research that does not have any practical use.
Nowadays, in order to make full of the money, governments prefers to support those researches which repay immediately. Some people even suggest that government should stop financing those researches that seems do not have any practical use. In my perspective, however, I am quite not in favor with this statement.
Admittedly, some researches, without any practical use, are worthless. Though the saying goes, no pains no gains. Yet to some researches, no matter how much are paid, nothing we will get. What's worse, with large waste of money, it may also hold back economy development. For example, the Star War cost Americans billions of dollars and what's the result? Nothing! Actually, if the government used those money on establishing after-school programs for delinquent latchkey kids or on enhancing AIDS awareness and education, and so forth, Americans may not be left with rampant gang violence, an AIDS epidemic and an unprecedented federal budget deficit.
However, even though there are some researches that have no rewarding, that does not mean that government should invest their money only on those researches being useful. There are two reasons for that. First of all, some researches without any practical use may be beneficial to the development of those researches having obviously practical use. As all things are linked together, some things may be limited by others. For example, the research of math seems useless as no matter how much money you put into it, nothing could you get but some new methods or some other theoretical results without any products. Math is the foundation of all researches, however. Without math, it cannot believe how other researches going on.
Furthermore, some researches may get their rewards in the future though they seem having no practical use now. It is entirely possible that someday other developments of techniques could turn some 'useless' techniques into useful ones. For example, Einstein relativity theory seems useless when it first come out. Actually, there were less people could understand it. Would people at that time realize that with the help of his theory, physics have made great progress. What's more, it is also the foundation for the use of nuclear energy.
In sum, government should not only spend their money on the researches which seems to have practical use obviously. Investing on some 'useless' researches may also get great rewards. |
