I like the picture. No, we are supposed to be the best just by cognition. I don't think we simply ignore it. Maybe it is a question on the public and not on reaching the puic. How much have you learned about the covid-19? Immune system,masks,allergy,health risks group. We have learned a lot, and we still aim to learn. Are not conscious? What about science fiction? How much of the science fiction is becoming true?

Thank you Mª Angeles Zorrilla Lopez-Perea .

Dear Dr. Filipe Wiltgen ,

in answering this question, allow me to make my own the thought of Dr. Stuart Firestein, which I totally share, that is, that science will progress the more rapidly the more scientists become aware of their ignorance and - even better - of the fact that there is ignorance which they themselves ignore….

My best regards, Pierluigi Traverso.

Dear Professor Filipe Wiltgen

I think the questions you kindly share with RG members are precious, precise, fundamental, and crucial. I think in future possibly we don‘t have many branches of science, while many branches are merged. BEsides, the academic environment will be disapeared

A man by nature tends to be selfish, he wants to get everything at the same time, and this is unfortunately not possible... In my opinion, science has provided a lot to humanity, we cannot dispense with scientific discoveries, science in itself has not harmed mankind, but its misuse is what harmed it... For the continuation of the industrial and technological revolution, man needed to extract energy sources and to mine minerals, and of course, this greatly harmed the environment and led to big climatic changes, which may be the beast that carries the prophecy of the end of the world because its impact is much worse than epidemics and will continue for future generations... On the other hand, we cannot forget the services that science has provided to humanity, so we have to understand that everything has a price, and this is Knowledge tax... My sincere gratitude to everyone.

Dear my friend Prof. Pierluigi Traverso ,

Perfect!

Always clear, simple and objective!

Thank you very much!

My deep respect and admiration,

Wiltgen

To my opinion, the future of science lies in science itself. I think the first change will be instant distribution for all scientific ideas. Some sites, such as arXiv, Academia.edu, Mendeley, and ResearchGate have brought instant distribution to certain sub-fields of science recently, and this trend is going to continue to all fields of science.

Dear my friend Profa. Manal Hadi Kanaan ,

I think that what harmed, and always will harm nature is vanity and human pride guaranteed by profit and unbridled selfishness.

As always your statements are accurate in the facts!

My deep respect and admiration,

Wiltgen

Dear Terri Purvis

Yeap!

I agree with everything you wrote!

Thank you so much for participating in debate.

Dear Alireza Khoshkonesh ,

Thank you for your support and your great kindness.

Without a doubt, science will exist, as well as masters (professor) and disciples (students).

Due to academic environment, it has always evolved and undergoes necessary modifications to follow human development, therefore, it will exist always and always in order to adapt to modern times.

Thank you very much for participating in this debate.

Best Regards,

Wiltgen

Dear Prof. Arbind K. Choudhary ,

Hope you're right.

I see, as you do, that science must always be science, and not an artifact good pleasure of a few, for profit, business and power.

Thank you very much as always for participating in debates.

My deepest regards,

Wiltgen

Please also go through the concluding sentence of a news published in Nature in 1932: So we find the engineer man of science of the present century voicing the ideals of the great biologist of two or three decades ago.

Thank you for links! Prof. Arbind K. Choudhary .

The first phrase of your question is admirable !

The future science will be able to reverse global warming and secure the future of the planet. But before get to this point Science should fight some other pandemics, fight deterioration of Earth conditions and ....... we should pay a lot !

Dear Profa. Parisa Ziarati ,

I always have the feeling that we haven't matured enough to understand the importance of science.

As always, thank you very much for your participation and kindness.

My deepest regards,

Wiltgen

Future of science call for the creation carried out under research program & either for the creation it is the blessing or if it is otherwise it takes recourse to destruction. Future of science depends on the researcher ,whatever the scientific development we are aware that nature is very powerful & may destroyed the creation .

This is my personal opinion

Science is good for man, but scientific practices are also essential in personal and societal life.

Learning environmental science and ecology is not enough, preserving the biosphere is also essential.

Political science is not enough, good political leaders are also needful.

Thank you for your question, dear friend, professor Filipe Wiltgen!

“The human being always thinks of having an advantage in everything!”

And the state and the authorities, embodying this thesis in life, have always put science at their service. Those in power sought to achieve advantages using the capabilities of science. At the same time, the authorities themselves were not interested in science or they were afraid of it. Take the alchemists or any revolution where the scientific intelligentsia has always suffered first. She, as a rule, was destroyed. And the example of the Third Reich, where all science was subordinated to the search for foundations and proof of the superiority of the true Aryans?

But you can't do without science! This is well understood even now. Based on this, it is likely that in the future the fate of science will be similar to the fate of galley slaves ...

Let's hope that such a pessimistic forecast will not come true, and a bright future awaits science!

Best wishes!

With deep respect, Vоlоdymyr Naumchuk

P.S. The future of science emerges from the fact that itself science itself there is future!

Thank you Md. Al-Mamun , Prabhat Ranjan and Rohit Manilal Parikh .

My dear friend Prof. Volodymyr Naumchuk ,

"Let's hope that pessimistic prediction doesn't come true, and a bright future awaits science!"

This is what all researchers who are really into science look forward to the future.

Your placements, as always, were accurate at all!

Thank you so much for brightening up debates!

My deep respect and admiration,

Wiltgen

My friend Prof. Volodymyr Naumchuk ,

Your PS, is perfect!

My best regards,

Wiltgen

Not only will our knowledge increase but the way science is done will change in profound ways. A new ecology of science will crystallize, one that shifts from the insular and closed structures of academic, industrial, and military research toward open models based on social connection, data commons, and democratized tools and technology. We will create unprecedented opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing between large organizations, communities, and individuals. This radical reimagining of science will supplant current approaches to R&D and inevitably translate into new technologies as well as new organizational structures..

Hi. Always Science advances with the passage of time (future).

Always Science advances with the passage of time (future).

Without a doubt, it can define the course of all humanity

نتأمل خير ان شاءالله

Thanks! : )

In my opinion, science has a great future ahead of it in the 21st century, i.e. it will develop in many scientific disciplines. As technological progress and structural changes in the economy are taking place faster and faster, the creation of new directions for the development of science, new research topics and new scientific disciplines will also accelerate. In the twenty-first century, science will develop, among others in directions that are to help solve global problems, including natural, pandemic, health, climate, social, economic, financial crises, etc. As the scale of problems and crises will increase in the coming decades, the role and importance of science will also increase. The only key question is whether, due to the growing importance of scientific research and the implementation of its results, will the expenditure on science from the public finance system of the state also increase. Besides, another problem is that a significant part of important research results are not implemented, they are ignored by business and politics.

Best regards, Have a nice day,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Thank you Dariusz!

Science always gets advanced with the passage of time

Very strange that answer is same as three participants (Aref, Aqarab and Ravinder)?!?!?! It´s "Genio Google" ???

Please brainstorm original ideas and yours!

We would like to read the text related to debate.

The future of science for serious people will surely be a wonderful future.. As for countries and laggards, they will descend to the lowest level.. each according to his diligence

Thank you Hadeel Hassan .

I expect that science will advance rapidly due to modern technologies & available capabilities, but human life short & ambition are great, and this is an unbalanced equation. Thank you dear friend dr. Filipe Wiltgen for your unusual & beneficial questions. Good luck!!

Dear Sirvan Abbasbeigi ,

Sorry, I don't think you understood, or didn't read question, it's not about scientific facts or consequences of scientific development, it's not what science will achieve with research, but what science will be like in the future!

We are not here to "guess" anything! My questions always have warnings like this: "THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SCIENTIFIC QUESTION"

Wiltgen

In near future the science will cover the problems and it will prefer green technology

My friend dear Prof. Shaker A.N. Al-Jadaan ,

I believe this will be true!

Thank you for your nate kindness and your important participation in this debates. It's always important to me.

My deepest respect and admiration,

Wiltgen

Thanks Jamil Ahmed Buledi .

I hope science will advance quickly and will solve most of humankind problems.

I hope so! : )

In the future Science will grow very well. The results of scientific discoveries will change (develop) our world. Our environments will look greener. We will be more prosperous. But we have to do more on science from now on. We have to do more on motivating cultures such as unity [globalization of good cultures, educations, economy, development...]. The world has to do together. Unity is very strength. We have to focus more on educational sciences. We have to like each other better than ever...

Thanks!

Science is growing and will develop new technologies in future for the betterment of humnaity.

S J Malik , yeap! Hope so! Thanks.

The future of science awaits some anxious years. But if someone is found to guide him in the right direction, it will be a discovery. If it doesn’t go the right way, I think we should start all over again after 2 centuries.

The future scientific will increase human life peace and happy life

Thanks Rohana Syamsuddin .

Dear Filipe Wiltgen

As what we know about the unknown is almost nothing when compared to what we do not know about it, there is no end to the end of science and scientific activities. More to the point, if it were not misapplied science is on the best friends of humanity.

Science will continue to surprise us with what it discovers and creates; then it will astound us by devising new methods to surprises us. At the core of science's self-modification is technology. New tools enable new structures of knowledge and new ways of discovery.

It contributes to ensuring a longer and healthier life, monitors our health, provides medicine to cure our diseases, alleviates aches and pains, helps us to provide water for our basic needs – including our food, provides energy and makes life more fun, including sports, music, entertainment and the latest ...

Without science it is difficult to imagine what our like would be like. In future the science will make the man do wonders that are perhaps not possible to imagine now. ... More and more jobs and professions may evolve due to science. Everything our society is today is due to scientific advancement.

Scientific knowledge allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions — both individually and collectively. Because its products are so useful, the process of science is intertwined with those applications: New scientific knowledge may lead to new applications.

Science and technology have had a major impact on society, and their impact is growing. ... By making life easier, science has given man the chance to pursue societal concerns such as ethics, aesthetics, education, and justice; to create cultures; and to improve human conditions.

Without science there is no human growth, no technological advances, no knowledge generation and the world stagnates. Science is knowledge and without an investment in science the world as we know it would not be possible. Without science the world would stop.

Science is a systematic way of observing the world and doing experiments to understand its structure and behavior. So a scientific idea is an explanation for how something works, or the truth about some aspect of the world, that was figured out using the scientific process.

I think another way of rephrasing the matter is the human being is never happy, and as such, we obtain this result.

Thank you all!

Dear Filipe Wiltgen.

As I have mentioned, science will never come to an end because there will always be an unknown to be known.This aspect notwithstanding, it matters not to take scientism for science.There are a lot of problems in people's life that science cannot solve.

Dear Orlando Lourenço,

In my view, science serves exactly to solve real problems that exist in people's lives!

Dear Filipe Wiltgen.

I do not deny that "science serves exactly to solve real problems that exist in people's lives!"

I keep thinking that, even so, there are a lot of problems in people's life that science cannot solve. Science is highly developed, but it cannot, for example, to put an an end to wars, domestic violence, genocides, children's maltreatment, issues of love, happiness, etc., etc., etc.,

Dear Orlando Lourenço,

Sorry, I'm not talking about psychology but engineering! The science serves exactly to solve real problems that exist in people's lives!

Dear Filipe Wiltgen.

There are some problems, namely psychological problems, that are more solved through psychology than engineering, By the way, I believe more in the circle of sciences than in their hierarchy,

"The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown."

Carl Jung

Dear Orlando M. Lourenço,

Please respect my discussion which is about engineering. This discussion is not about psychology. Please respect this. Thank you!

I know of several engineers who consult clinical psychologists. "You are welcome my dear patient; what is it your problem? I know that you are a engineer who knows a lot about science. Is it not enough to deal with your psychological problems?"

With all sincerity, dear Filipe Wiltgen, your answers, not you, remind me of authoritarian, not authoritative answers, regardless of how many recommendations they may attract.

PS: When is not misapplied, science is an asset for the whole humanity. But if science and the technology it tends to give rise is not informed by ethical principles, they both can be a disgrace. Think, for example of nuclear weapons that result from the combination of science and technology. Once again, science and technology not guided by ethics and morality can create more problems than they solve.

Dear Filipe Wiltgen.

The complete separation between engineering and psychology is an unbearable separation. It is also unbearable in this global and multicultural world to argue in favor of the hierarchy of sciences instead of the circle of sciences. But people have the liberty of saying what they want. Even though, it would nice not saying what is unbearable. No one, I believe, has a solid ground to put a given science above or below any other. Needless to say, when one looks at his/her area of expertise as being above another one may be so full with himself/herself that s/he risks taking a tree for the entire forest, in which case we are doomed to have a truncated and distorted view of the whole reality. Fortunately, there is more in this world than engineering and psychology. There is, for example, the Brazilian beautiful music.

PS: "Please respect my discussion which is about engineering"-- you say. Note that the term "engineering" does not even appear in your initial question.

Why don´t you respect the wish of Filipe Wiltgen to deal in this thread with engineering and stop talking about issues nobody, absolutely nobody, is interested in (as in several other threads where you post your trivia)?

Dear Prof. Christian G Meyer , thank you for your kindness. My best regards, FWiltgen

Mr.Orlando,

It makes me sad to see how you are a person with no respect for others. Thank you for being a person with no respect for others.

Discussion finished!

I think that the contribution of science to society is unquestionable, as it makes possible advances in the fields of health, food, environment, technology, energy, and many others, improving the quality of life of populations and enriching societies intellectually and culturally.

To whom this may concern

Unilateral respect is no respect in the end. Is this type of respect you want to, Mr. Filipe? Remain with you and your engineering, and I will remain with me and all that I do not know, namely about engineering.

Just to put a definite end to my humble participation in your worthwhile and ingenious thread, I cite a quote by the genial Albert Einstein: "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth". Bye Bye Mr. Filipe and good luck.

From now onwards, silence will be my reaction to your appeals to unilateral respect. By its very nature, a question whatever is there to be discussed, even discussed from several angles. if this is not the case, then it becomes a parallel, not a collective game. Needless to say, there are more than engineering and psychology in the world. I know of some engineers who also took a course in Educational Psychology for they wanted to be professors at the university level. Once again, good luck for you and your friends, be they Brazilians or not.

Research in Basic Science is necessary. We never know when will be an important result for humanity. It is a matter of try and error. Is the only way.

Good question. However, please note that science is nothing without ethics which dictates what to do with science.

This discussion is finished in July 2021. Thanks.

What is your scientific opinion about the future of science?

Dear Dr. Filipe Wiltgen

Is it advisable to blindly trust Science? Both Plato [428-27 -348-47 BC] and Galileo Galilei [1564-1642] refused to settle for scientific data and this helped guide their respective cultures to higher levels of philosophical understanding and scientific understanding, respectively. However, if the opposition to the consensus is driven by an illusion of understanding, and if that opposition leads to actions that are dangerous to those who do not share the illusion, then it is up to the respective Society to try to change their minds in favor of Science or in favor of non-Science. Any hesitation is always twinned with Science and any effort to understand too, but in the face of possible disagreements in the face of "consistent evidence" a great force of will is required when it comes to putting aside the preceding truths and overcoming any disagreement not only in a circle of specialists but also before a global audience. In this excellent research work they cite some examples where disagreement continues to reign on issues such as the food safety of "genetically modified foods" [GMF] or if climate change is due to human activity, or if humans being have evolved with the time, or if more Nuclear Power is needed, or if childhood vaccinations should be mandatory, etc.

Dear friend Profa. Juana Maria Arcelus-Ulibarrena ,

This is all true, we have to, in society, find our ways to maintain, health, life, development, always maintaining respect for all forms of life present in this beautiful blue point of the cosmos (Earth under eyes of Scientist Carl Edward Sagan).

Thank you so much as always for your wealth of comments and papers!

My deep respect and friendship, Filipe

My congratulations Dear Dr. Filipe Wiltgen for your very interesting Question and I wish you the best in your pursuit.

My respects.

The development of intellectual thinking has separated mankind from nature. Therefore, he will not stop thinking about it. As long as harmony with nature is not taken into account in the development of technology, it is natural that the bright future technology of mankind will be in danger. If you can't live in nature, then who needs high technology and why?

Dear Profa. Juana Maria Arcelus-Ulibarrena , me too!!! Filipe
