It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people.. Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid.. The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science. Jawaharlal Nehru
About This Quote

The idea that “science alone can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people” is very interesting. The question is: is science the only solution to these problems? Or do we need other aspects to help us overcome our problems? There is a difference between science and technology. Technology is something that we use to help us achieve a goal. Science tells us how we can achieve those goals. Therefore, science alone will not solve all of our problems.
