“Science is the labor and handicraft of the mind”, says Bacon. A man is the product of science. Science has made man what he is today. Science started on its march with the discovery of fire and that of agriculture was its next footstep. Since then it has been marching onward and forward. We can see the wonders of science in every walk of life.

The modern man cannot dream of life without the little wonders of science all around him. The alarm clock that wakes him in the morning, the brush and paste he cleanses his teeth with, the food he eats, the cloths he puts on- all these are the wonders of science.

 

It is said that education is life. But science is education and education is science. So, science is life. Who brought in writing, printing, and the books? Could man amuse himself by singing, dancing, and playing? Who provided the radio, the gramophone, television, and the talkies? Science is the single answer to all these questions.

Science has helped man to win the forces of Nature. Science has bridged the oceans and linked the four corners of the world. We have big ships to cross the deepest seas and oceans. We have airplanes to cross the highest peaks of the mountains. Now space is going to be conquered. The wondrous dreams of the past are realities today.

But science is also bringing destruction to man. The atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, jet fighters will surely end the world. But we must use the gifts of science and not abuse them.
