Topic: Science curse, or blessing

Modern life is unimaginable without science. Science is closely related to our daily life. Science, this term is less familiar to everyone. It will not be known or why. The present age is the age of science. We live with science from the time we wake up in the morning until we go to sleep at night. After waking up in the morning, you brush your teeth with toothpaste, from there, science begins. Without science, our lives are stagnant. Wherever we turn our eyes to the daily life in the cities and villages, we can see that Vigyan Lakshmi has filled the branches of happiness, wealth and prosperity with the unsparing gift of her benevolent hands. His contribution in agriculture, industry, medicine, vehicles, education-culture-every field of life is unmatched. Despite this great gift of benevolent science, the horrors of nuclear power at the end of the Second World War and the subsequent indiscriminate use of various weapons have raised the question of the practical application of science in the fearful and skeptical minds of philanthropists - 'Shall science be used for the good of mankind, or the destruction of mankind by its destructive misuse? ?'

Contribution of science to greater human welfare:

Science has set an incomparable example of unceasing and relentless service in the pursuit of human happiness-comfort-prosperity. Science has given man the power to conquer nature. As a result, he subdued the Duranta river and made the Usar desert fertile with its nectar flow. The cargo has crossed the sea and dropped it at the farthest port in the world. How many bitter tales have been plucked from the chest of the forest for invulnerable. Skyscraper Everest has been lowered. The snow kingdom has been subjugated. His thoughts, desires, and efforts are not limited only to masima, but also extend to planetary eclipses on the blue sky of space. On their chests are imprinted today the footprints of victorious men. His scientific experiments are also going on in Mars and Agra. Contribution of science in agriculture, industry, communication, medicine, education etc. In the field of agriculture, the revolution was successful thanks to the machines created by science. In the field of industry, the demonic power of the machine has created a great deal. Discovery of cures and life-giving medicines,

Due to the application of modern scientific medical methods:-

The green revolution has been successful in the field of agriculture thanks to the magic created by science. People have been largely freed from the infection and outbreak of diseases. In the field of education, the door of scientific and practical education has been opened after the monotonous artificial education system centered on books has ended. Electric or nuclear powered vehicles and communication systems have made life faster. Radio and television have made the distant near, the animal the brother, the invisible the visible, the precious jewels of nature's mysteries rich in the avatars. Seeing this benevolent function of science, it naturally seems that there is no such great blessing in human life. Looking back at the post-war world with the invention of destructive firearms, there is little left of the above attitude. the atom

Invention of destructive firearms:-

The infinite power that science has given to man is the result of the atomic bomb with devastating power. Nuclear missiles have been built. It is said that the cumulative energy of the explosives used in World War I and II is negligible compared to that of a modern atomic bomb. There are half a dozen states in the world possessing such nuclear weapons. Hundreds of thousands of weapons of such terrible power are collected in their arsenal. If it is applied in a weak moment, it will create the living graves of a large group of people. Their long-term sadhana labor and sadhanalabab culture will be destroyed. Fighting for greater peace, these excuses of the replaced statesmen serve the instinct of jealousy. Science says that strong man is not only advanced in the arms race today, but his mentality has also deteriorated. To harm the enemy, poison the water, spread germs of incurable diseases

The terrible devastation of the atomic bomb :-:

The terrible experience of the explosion of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima-Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War still leaves people in shock and awe. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield equal to twenty thousand tons of TNT. 78 thousand men and women died in its explosion. The number of injured is 84 thousand. The number of dead and injured in the bomb dropped on Nagasaki is 27 thousand and 41 thousand respectively. Many men and women also went missing. The weight of all those bombs was limited to kilotons. Currently, the megaton weight limit has been raised. One megaton is equal to one million tons of TNT. Now fifty and one hundred megaton bombs are also being made. Their monstrous destructive power is not only astonishing, but unimaginable. Those who escape beyond the blast range, in fact, have no escape from airborne particulate matter.

Due to poisoning, he will also suffer from various incurable diseases for generations.

Post-World War II War and Its Effects:

Even after the Second World War, the human race did not stop. Despite the use of destructive weapons such as atomic bombs in large and small battles in almost half a century, the use of modern weapons has not made people less afraid. Memories of the horrors of the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars haunt people. Moreover, even after the war was over, the Buddhist practice and its collateral effects were far-reaching. That impact is not confined to the battlefield, threatening the existence of flora, fauna and human life from surrounding areas to fortified sprawling settlements or sea-desert-forest-margin regions. Currently, the world situation is going towards chaos. Palestine problem, Afghan problem, Jammu Kashmir problem, Iraq problem - the power of modern weapons is active behind these problems. The people of the world do not know when the third world war will start.

Abuse is inevitable:-

The inevitable result of misuse is not only that people are skeptical about the application of the end of war and its adverse effects, but the evil and good sense people are alarmed by the all-round application of the machine in all spheres of life by the ineffectual people in the need of self-interest. The more widespread the use of devices, the more people are becoming victims of devices. He is becoming mechanical to walk, walk, talk, sleep constantly with the machine. Losing the tender gifts of the heart, he is becoming more and more artificial. The surrounding materiality of daily life crushes his natural instincts, resulting in mutual jealousy, mistrust, hatred. Is this not the inevitable result of the misuse of science?

Last Thought

Science is a human tool. Nuclear energy can be used for human welfare rather than destruction. There is no point in blaming science unnecessarily. First of all, people's attitude needs to be changed. If people use science for human welfare, science will be useful only.Basically science is created for human welfare. But some unscrupulous people are misusing science for their own little gain. Science has many positive aspects that are far outweighed by its negative aspects. We all have to accept the good aspects of science and discard the bad aspects. Then science will become a balanced blessing. I think that science is not a curse but a blessing. Because as a result of the progress of science, we are able to live such a better life today, we are getting so many opportunities. Not a single moment of our life goes without science. It is inextricably linked with our lives.
