It is often remarked that spring is the most delightful of seasons, but this is a painful boon for our appreciation should really be under the harvest moon. Just as Mother Nature needs the remainder of winter and the ripening of fall for the budding of spring, science needs practical applications on which to build pure theories. Thanks to its application, science reveals its mysteries more faithfully. There is no need to wait impatiently to see the results of science as they presently present themselves. In physics, the advent of electricity was rewarded by the emergence of an incandescent light bulb. Theoretical understanding of electricity helped transform electricity from lightning into a utility and sparked more curiosity about magnetism. This application of pure scientific theory is just another face of science. Just as a mathematician can supplement his understanding of geometry or algebra with their applications in architecture or economics, a physicist can nourish his understanding of the world through the application of theoretical principles. A completely theoretical explanation of nature cannot suffice as science. . Just as a watch and all its workings can only be explained if it is set in motion, nature can only be fully understood if the theories of how it works are put into practice. To illustrate this point, we only need to look into the past and describe the mechanics of the cosmos. It was once naively thought that the Earth was the center of the Universe and that each object rotated according to a particular trajectory (epicycles). When Kepler looked through a recently created telescope at the orbits of the newly discovered planets and deduced that all planets revolve around the sun......... middle of paper ......number of the reactions that take place, it requires experimentation. This experiment includes the application of chemical theories. In its application, a researcher can see theories of pure science explored in their entirety, but can also find new uses for its products. It is obvious that pure science is the foundation of the theories on which science is built, but the application of these theories allows for a more concise understanding of science. The application of science not only benefits society by providing many luxuries and making life less arduous, but it also contributes to the progress of science itself. Where an experiment can isolate a specific variable of interest and test it, a comprehensive application allows a complete understanding of the dynamics present in the conglomerate of intertwined forces and theories that is nature...
