What is the essence of scientific knowledge and conducted scientific research in the context of the current development of science, civilization and key global problems?
In the context of the above considerations, it is important to distinguish scientific knowledge from other types of knowledge, data, information, etc. This distinction should facilitate defining the essence of scientific knowledge and the purposefulness, validity and philosophy of conducted research in the context of the current development of science, civilization and key global problems.
In my opinion, scientific knowledge differs from other types of knowledge, data, information, etc., primarily by the following features:
1. Scientific knowledge is fully objective, verified by independent scientific research. The course of the conducted research, applied research methods and their nature and research issues should be determined objectively by scientists, ie independently of other entities and institutions.
2. Scientific knowledge should serve people, solve key problems of civilization development, should inspire to develop cooperation between people, etc. New scientific research should be undertaken on topics that were diagnosed with opportunities or threats to the development of human civilization but also natural environment, sustainable development, etc. .
3. Scientific knowledge can not be used in media propaganda, propaganda carried out by dominant companies and corporations as well as other pressure groups. Scientific knowledge should not be used in the media to falsify the image of reality for citizens, in order to create a specific ideology resulting from the interest of a specific company or institution operating anti-social.
4. Scientific knowledge inspires to ask more questions and to seek answers by conducting scientific research using increasingly new research tools and new technologies. Scientific knowledge should inspire to conduct further scientific research, to formulate questions and research theses on topics crucial for the development of human civilization but also the natural environment, sustainable development, etc.
5. Scientific knowledge should be extended through objectively, ethically, socially-led scientific research. In order to make scientific knowledge objectively enriched with new content, institutions that finance the conduct of scientific research can not affect the course and results of scientific research.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
What is the essence of scientific knowledge and conducted scientific research in the context of the current development of science, civilization and key global problems?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

Scientific knowledge is dominated by empirical data that are verifiable , precise , and ethically neutral. Indubitably, all rich civilizations have a deep and strong scientific base. However, as you have astutely observed, scientific development is almost invariably used for political dominance because it is converted into tech savvy equipment often used for intimidating rival countries.
Scientific research has been shown without scientific knowledge or from specialist of other subjects .
Optical microscope was developed by simple lense maker
Incandescent bulb was developed by trial and errors without knowing the subject
