The problem with science is not accessibility. It's lack of practical and healthy application.

My own personal philosophical and spiritual view of science and technology sees those as too often suffering from a lack of pragmatism and/or wasteful hubris. My thoughts stem from one of my favorite quotes that Neale Donald Walsch channeled from God.

“Do not waste the precious moments of this, your present reality, seeking to unveil all of life’s secrets. Those secrets are a secret for a reason. Grant your God the benefit of the doubt.”

Here’s my philosophy of modern science. Broadly stated, I think too many scientists waste time and money on matters that are undiscoverable and or have no practical impact on improving life; too many resources are used to develop technology that is used so we can acquire things easier and faster, but those things don’t actually contribute to contentment. Two years ago I posed this question in the form of a single-line tanka:

Does technology serve humanity by promoting the lazy acquisition of attachments versus our wellbeing?

(See my Technology Versus Soul, Tanka of the misuse of technology (my answer referred to the moral of the Pixar movie, WALL-E)).

How many billions of dollars did it take to build the Large Hadron Collider? Almost $5,000,000,000. It costs a billion a year to operate it. That puts the cost of “discovering” the Higgs Boson at over $13,000,000,000. Source. Why did we search for this particle? Because the math behind the Standard Model of Cosmology and Big Bang Theory predicted its existence and thus finding the particle would support the prevailing theory. However, scientists keep having to come up with fudge factors that they keep on having to further fudge to support this theory.
