The strongest aspect of humans is perhaps that their intelligence is multifaceted. There is so much diversity in human activity that sometimes it becomes hard to believe that all humans are actually of the same species! Humans are good at dance, music, painting, computer programs and many other fields. Among all these fields of human activity, one that stands truly apart and in a unique position is the pursuit of science. Science is undoubtedly one of the biggest contributors to the progress of human civilisation right from the very start. The discovery of the wheel and ancient metallurgy was no less a scientific achievement compared to modern day rockets and smartphones. Despite all these immense achievements, science is facing a huge problem today. Science has provided immensely useful tools to study almost all the material aspects of nature. We can very accurately measure temperature of an object, the length of even tiny bacteria, and even the distance to stars many light years away. But science is finding it increasingly difficult to measure its own worth. There is so much new science being produced everyday by thousands of scientists around the world that it has become a real problem to assess which of these contributions are worthy of praise and which are not. And those that are worthy, how much praise do they really deserve?
