Hurdles in the Path of Science

Science is helping mankind in many aspects. Science guides world in prosperous way, Science resolves the issues. Even science is conserving nature with its mechanisms.  Then, What hurdles science and scientific research? Let’s find out the answer and listen the sad story of science.

                                    Controversies and science went hand in hand with each other in past times. The conservative and religious societies always oppose science, as it is a disease which can create misconception and distance between almighty God and people. This fact cannot be denied that scientists faced lots of trouble and harassment only to uncover the real truth. The story of Galileo is the best evidence for this argument. Despite all those things science made its position in world. In this blog we are going to discuss about the modern hurdles due to civilization and increasing competition among people.

                                   Moving in the lane of memories we would find the story of Alfred Nobel, when there is no motivation, no encourage, almost zero investment towards scientific research Nobel stands out in all to start giving money, encouragement and motivation in terms of prize which is now popularly known as the best award in world. The lack of financial investment in scientific research is the greatest hurdle in the path of science. Universities and academic institution are playing the measure role in scientific research but it was observed that government are showing interest in building new institutes but they are not thinking about the scientific development.

                                 Moving to next reason, we are seeing the intent of parents forcing students to earn money as soon as possible after graduation. Bsc. Degrees are used as the minimum requirement of a student for getting a job. These results are the consequences of increasing competition among students. Everyone wants their child to grow rich quickly; no one wants their child in the field of research. For someone scientific research seems a boring job of observing for hours and for some it is very lengthy process of education from Bsc. to PhD. 

 

                              As I explained universities played a great role in the progress of science, that not only infrastructures but the professors who taught student their plays key roles. They create unimaginable joy of science in students; they also gave chances for student to work with them with their research work. I think the great scientists who came in our mind right now they all are university professors, for example APJ Abdul Kalam, Professor U.R Rao, Bikram Srabhai, and Physicist Richard Feynman etc. Now these days’ teachers creating alert for research. Academic and social awareness are lacking in case of research. Govt. should focus on to make the profession of scientist more profitable.

                            I am going to discuss the reason that seems not a hurdle in path of science but it is true. The reason is technology. Technology!, How technology creates hurdle? Technology never creates hurdle but distract scientific studies to materialistic, gone those days when an apple used to tell the law of universe. Now days’ scientific researches made mainly on different materials or artificial things.

                          Some cumulative reasons I am discussing here, let’s go through it. The limitation for science such as supernatural powers and unbelievable stories of spirit forced us to not believe in science in these fields. Some spiritual controversies also create hurdles in scientific progress. Thanks to many programmes, policies, certain camps and some fellowships that trying to pullback students to the field of scientific research, but that were not enough because these helps were reached to small amount of students. We have to make every institute a better place instead of building new better University. The media and people should give that much respect to scientist they deserve. Stay tuned with Hungry researcher for upcoming post, next post is based on ancient scientific research.
