Science cannot provide instant solutions. People expect a theory that explains everything with certainty. But things are complicated, uncertain, and messy, no simple rule or force will explain the past and predict the future of human existence.
I found this concept interesting in the writing of Richard Lewontin, an influential American evolutionary biologist, who died recently. That is why inspite of all advances in science and technology, we are in a serious global crisis of climate change. Interestingly, one of the best thinkers on environment currently is not some scientist but eminent novelist Amitav Ghosh who has perhaps done more painstaking research than some social scientist.
