Hi-Tech + Lo-Science = Chaos
Technology is advancing fast, virtually at the speed of 'an Apple a day.' And for many the mobile has virtually taken on the role of an essential 5th limb. There are many compulsive or nonstop mobile-tappers.
Yet ignoring modern science is a widespread reality. Too few know (or care to know) that we - our solar system, sun and planets - are nothing more than a speck of sea sand in the unimaginable vastness of the universe. That there are many millions of galaxies, each with many millions of suns. That light travelling at the speed of 186,000 miles a second takes more than a 100 years to cross the Milky Way, our galaxy...which is one of the smaller galaxies. That there's every possibility of life existing in varied forms - some even more hi-tech or civilized than us - in innumerable places across the universe. The orbiting space telescope has so far located about 300 suns with planets where life is possible. Of them, the nearest to us is 25 light years away.
Great scientists (like Einstein) have shown all things that happen in the universe happen by scientific laws - laws that affect everything down to the subatomic particles. Understanding those laws is man's greatest adventure. Scientists always keep asking questions. They question their own findings, seeking more or better proof.
On the other hand people ignoring science have no questions to ask. (Of course, they tap hi-tech mobiles!) And no doubts. They assume all things happen 'magically.' They are absolutely sure what is right and what is wrong. They are absolutely sure who is right and who is wrong. They flaunt their self-righteousness as though they have the highest wisdom.
And the consequences are obvious. Around the world, meaningless pettiness and meaningless meanness produce meaningless chaos.
