Progress and Its Problems: Toward a Theory of Scientific Growth. The great unsolved problems of your time look like missing puzzle pieces, while the tools, equations and current theories begin to look like misshapen pieces that don't quite fit where they're supposed to. What a theory is supposed to do etc etc. It is not the raw material used in the formation of practice and theory, it is inevitably the result of it. Like moving taxes on work towards taxes on raw materials and fossile fuels in particular. In other words, you've run up against the limits of our current knowledge; to make any further progress is going to take an innovation that's not yet a part of our scientific lexicon.

In addition to the actual growth of science and scientific activity, there has been much effort to show that such progress benefits the economy through a line of investigation tying basic research to patents production. But growth of the eye also depends heavily on external cues — what scientists call visual feedback. Now it is the turn of climate The problem with climate science, however, is that its vision of the problem has gradually become more and more dramatic. Studies of resource depletion, such as "The Limits to Growth" of 1972 were attacked and demonized in the 1980s, and then consigned to the dustbin of "wrong" scientific ideas.
