Question

What is meant by ‘meaningful science’

Answer 1

what is your perception of meaningful science ?

all science done in right earnest is meaningful

if someone had not thought of matter waves you would not be having modern electronics or nanotechnology today!

i am a person of physics and can cite few examples from my subject

perhaps the quote is attributed to Nobel laureate Linus Pauling. it goes something like this-

‘expecting pure physics to give immediate results is like impregnating nine women simultaneously and expecting a baby a month later’

unfortunately, in today’s world ‘meaningful’ carries only one connotation - commercially successful

by that reckoning study of mathematics will be ‘meaningless’ !

spending on study of basic subjects is a long-term investment

Answer 2

Meaningful science is a phrase employed to illustrate findings that advance humankind itself. All experimental findings are beneficial, only a few are significant. Meaningful Science comprises computation and the purer it is sufficient. It goes something like this- ‘demanding pure science to give instant decisions is like implanting nine women concurrently and anticipating a baby a month later’ accidentally, in today’s world ‘meaningful’ conveys only one implication - commercially prosperous by that computation study of computation will be ‘meaningless’ spending on study of basic materials is a long-term financing.
