The modern age is the age of science. The inventions of science govern our life. At every stage we are dependent on the inventions and discoveries of science.

Scientific inventions and discoveries are used without conscience, and the result tit that modern scientific inventions are dragging humanity on the path of destruction and ruin. if the scientific inventions are sued with conscience i.e. with the full realization of the destruction and ruin that will be brought about by the indiscriminate sue of the weapons of science, there will be no danger to humanity. But when scientific inventions are used without conscience they are likely to send the humanity to its doom. Hence what is urgently needed is that the scientists should employ their scientific inventions with caution and care so that mankind may not have to suffer as a result of the indiscriminate use of scientific discoveries.

The atom bomb was the outcome of the craze of scientists to use atomic energy for destructive purposes. it was used by the Americans in Second world War of 1939-1945 and the two cities of Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had suffered incalculable losses in men and money due to the conscienceless employment of atomic
