The Mysteries of ScienceIntroductionAs I write this essay, I am overwhelmed by what human beings can accomplish in time and space. As I look out my window, planes fly above the smoke lazily rising from the industries below them; vehicles fill every available space on the streets as the news reports another successful rocket launch on its mission to Mars. If only the opinions of the unborn mind could be trusted, I would have been born centuries earlier. In today's world, driven by fear of global climate change, global warming, global economic recession, global terrorism among a host of other global concerns, I cannot help but bury my head in moments of peace that only dinosaurs know. age. Although this era is considered by many to be uncivilized and backward, the generations lived in a serene, enclosed and self-contained environment. For example, a cure for most human health problems was within reach in unpolluted household gardens and weapons of mass destruction could not be powerful enough to destroy an entire family in one night. Science: a blessing or a curse? Over the past century, science has changed the face of the earth, delivering checkered results that have helped improve the quality of life while at the same time posing great danger to the human race through competitive production. of dangerous weapons that can overthrow the entire world at will. Industrial development and modern modes of transportation have contributed over the years to today's environmental challenges that threaten the world's flora and fauna that peacefully coexisted over the past centuries. The world sits back and watches as scientific innovations proliferate... middle of paper...... an area that everyone can't stop talking about. Conclusion Although science has made us digital, yes, very quickly for the modern generation, it is also sad to see the way in which man has abused it to the point of seriously endangering his own existence. Although nothing can be done to dispel the fears caused by research innovations, it is essential that nations adopt measures that would facilitate a peaceful existence through the positive contributions that science has given us. The international nuclear disarmament program and combined efforts to mitigate global climate change are steps in the right direction, even as many countries continue to deny their culpability in creating a habitable world.
