"Science never solves a problem without creating ten more"

- George Bernard Shaw

About this Quote

This quote by George Bernard Shaw speaks to the intricacy of scientific progress. It recommends that while science can provide solutions to existing issues, it frequently produces brand-new ones while doing so. This is since scientific development is frequently a double-edged sword, with each brand-new discovery bringing with it both favorable and unfavorable repercussions. For example, the innovation of the auto has enabled us to travel quicker and conveniently, but it has actually likewise triggered air pollution and other ecological issues. Likewise, the development of nuclear energy has supplied us with a clean and effective source of energy, but it has actually also produced the potential for nuclear weapons and other harmful applications. In this method, science can be seen as a perpetual cycle of analytical and problem-creating.
