Science VS Technology

If man had paused longer to ponder on what is fire.
If Edison had paused longer to ponder why it had to be tungsten.
If the Wright brothers paused longer to ponder how lift force is generated.
We might still be in the dark ages.

Even today, we cannot and never may be sure.
Science is merely the fitting of observations on theory.
Throughout history, even when they fit, they still proved to be wrong over the course of time, most notably, Newton's law of gravitation.
The entire atomic structure, Big-Bang/Inflation theory, genetic mechanics can/may/will also be totally wrong.

In every great leap by mankind, there is a Armstrong to make that small step.
It didn't take centuries of devotion to the study of space tech, it took a Cold War.
And it worked.


Judgment between Science and Technology in the good of mankind.
