I thinks a good idea must be contains novelty and good practical results.

Thank you, Olfati. I surely agree with you that one has to engage in research that is novel and promising good results. But, then the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION ARISES: To what end is one conducting novel research that produces practical results? Would it be, perhaps, to ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE (MORAL IMPERATIVE) FOR ALL OF HUMANKIND? History is replete with examples where novel research with practical results gives rise to the most reprehensible/amoral/immoral forms of such research, eg The Military Industrial Complex, producing WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, with War Ships ENCIRCLING THE GLOBE! Thus the questions arises, TO WHAT END IS OUR NOVEL AND GOOD PRACTICAL RESEARCH, intended? Thank you for your answer. Only the best, always. John J
