话说我现在是不是交作业太晚了？时差党表示这里是晚上9点。。。

Though I do concede that government should consider with discretion and take the possible consequences into account before funding a scientific research, the assertion that government should not fund any scientific research whose consequences are unclear is too arbitrary.

Though government is seen as the major sponsor of scientific research, it cannot unconditionally fund all the scientific research. As the organization that bears responsibility to its country and people, also due to the limited budget, government must select the scientific research to fund in order to make every cent from the tax-payer worthwhile. And in evaluating the worth of a specific scientific research, the consequences of the research is the major concern and the government should never be too careful when weighing it.

However, it doesn't necessarily mean that government should simply rule out all the scientific research whose consequences are vague. The essence of scientific research is explore, which means hardly can anyone predict precisely what a scientific research may result in. Actually many breakthroughs in the science world originate from a trivial research or even the lunatic acts in others eyes. The Wright Brothers confronted with many skeptics during their invention of their flying machine. However, the after the successful public showing of their flyer, the former doubters issued apologies and effusive praise and the scientific research whose value once was doubted turned out to be significant. And as we all know, the air plane now plays an indispensible role in the modern society. If government joins in the doubters of the Wright Brothers, ignoring all the scientific research because of its uncertain results, it may take the risk of losing the opportunity to promote the scientific progress.

Besides, even if the scientific research itself is unproductive, it may not lead to the utter disappointment. Scientific research is full of serendipity and sometimes the by-product of it is satisfactory enough. When working for the Raytheon Company, Percy Spencor discovered that the candy bar in his pocket melted because of the microwaves from the radar set he was working on. He realized that microwave produced heat and applied this theory to the invention of the microwave machine which becomes almost a necessity in our daily life. By giving up the scientific research that seems of no significant consequences, government can also miss the important discoveries related to such a research.

Therefore, rather than arbitrarily shut the doors to any scientific research with inconspicuous consequences, government should do the selection with more discretion before funding a scientific research.
