Science often follows technology gains.....in fact I'll say usually follows technology .. There are many things I witnessed and experienced that never got to the science stage but were technological successes....the business didn't allow the time to do the science.

>"Science" that cannot predict isn't science. It's wannabe science. It becomes science when it starts making predictions. I don't really want to get into the global warming discussion; I already barely have time to keep up with the economic debates. Just one thing on it -- in such a HUGE system with literally billions of variables such as the whole earth, science shouldn't need to predict everything... even if the temperature in the Antarctic had been going down over time, if the average temperature of the entire earth were warming, then climatologists predicting global warming, would still count as pretty darned predictive. No? -Z
