Question:

if science,scientist,robots,machineries and other inventions are of help?

humanity have acknowledge all inventions from lighter to x-rays and to infrared, and to ultraviolet rays,electromagnetic propulsions and space travel -seems to provide great assistance to humanity-yet, cancer, AIDS, parkinsons,alzhimers have no cure at all??,global warming,wars etc.. so is science missing A LOT from REALITY??

Answer:

That's a good point, yet, we don't get to completely pick and choose what science allows us to solve first. It's a long, slow road to knowledge, and one discovery reinforces the next. We might have an answer on how to use lasers to correct vision, but curing cancer is a whole other set of disciplines and discoveries. It's not magic, it's a steady process where one discovery is built upon thousands of previous ones, but only when the right information is available at the right time. It's not that science has it's priorities out of whack. They just don't have the answers to all the problems, yet. It takes time. It takes time to take the principles discovered by science and turn them into workable technologies. Patience.
war fuels science, bombs and catapults are fun to make. We should be researching better things.
Yeah. We have LOTS left to discover! If we knew it all, we'd shut down our labs and go do something else.
At one time, humanity is on the verge of stepping into the stars, and also at its knees to its own destructive desires. But, that is humanity for you. It mocks man (woman) itself.
Sixty years ago the brand-new technological 'gee-whiz' gadget was television. And it was universally acknowledged that it would be probably the greatest advancement in education since the printed book. So go watch 'South Park', 'MTV', 'SNL', and a few dozen other mindless sitcoms and ask yourself, What went wrong? People tend to get the kind of Government that they deserve.
