119"When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's lives will be improved if the results are successful?"
The outcome cannot be predicted when many significant researches are allocated funds. If we are just in favor of those researches which are likely to succeed and having appealing results, we may easily get puzzled by ourselves’ short sight or blindness. For example, as the time alchemy were the rage, a large amount of people believed it can surely be a great exploit, therefore, we took every effort to make it true regardless its ridiculous essence. And on the contrary, when car first being invented, it looked like a pieces of ponderous and wasteful iron, and even can not go as fast as the carriage, if we believe its potential at first sight, we may lose one of the distinguished invention in nineteen century.
Whereas, that is not to say, we can hardly decide the priorities of technology research. Notwithstanding many results can not be seen, we can also rely on some basis and experiences to analyze whether it’s worthwhile or not. Therefore, all these analysis cannot stand without one possible reference—the theory research. Theory research is not a merely realm of science but includes many aspects in our life referring to some abstract meaning of creativities, just like art, music and sports. All of them cannot offer things to us that can improve our quality of life directly, and meanwhile it costs much, but can we arbitrarily say we are supposed to abandon all these researches? Of course not, we need them as they are things can be linked with the truth or our psychic world.
Theory research, seeing from result, it is a way of talking about some abstract concept, and that cannot offer material help to our lifetime on the face. For instance, when Einstein first put forward his principle of relativity,no one would like to believe it and it seemed just a profound research and had no function at all. But as the time goes by, when people want to depict the numerous universe, they find that the principle of relativity just act as a bridge to connect low speed and high speed, reality and macroscale. Everything in the used profound books looks so approachable and can accurately explain the universe. Therefore,when some researches seemed not available as the time people studied, we cannot draw the conclusion these researches can not be priority to support.
Of course, all intricate theories need a special way to explain and utilize its principle, which means the practical research. Practical research is a tool to combine the knowledge of nature essence or philosophy principle with real practice. That is to say, the criterion to judge these types of researches are inevitable involved with the effect they made. As we all in a society with a shortage of fund and resource, we have to put stress on the consequence of practical research, and make the best use of it. However, some practical researches are just about the own ambition of scientists or government, and in return, it can certainly fulfill their goal and improve their life, but not all of us. So, bluntly speaking, this large- money-need research should or must be examined whether it can result in large amount of benefits for us.
In conclude, we need to hold different viewpoints when face dissimilar characters of researches. It is vital to distinguish which researches we ought to support or which need a pause, and calculating from its long-term impact.
我的观点是研究分为2种,理论的和实际的。理论的难以根据结果判断投资方向,实际的可以或者必须因为结果而考虑投资方向。
