Question

Do u think that someday most of the scientist in this world will come together and invent something real big??

Answer 1

scientists invent things all the time.  they have invented a number of big things in the past, and will invent more int he future.  Usually, after scientists invent something, businessmen tinker with it to make it more practical.

Answer 2

That is what I'm most afraid of.

Answer 3

Are we talking size big or big impact.  Electricity has the biggest impact on our lives and nothings going to replace that for a while.  It wasn't invented but discovered.  If you want to learn more about about electricity look up Michael Faraday.  Internet is a pretty big invention created by the boffins at the US Department of Defense.  

Answer 4

A scientist is someone who uses the scientific method to study any field in science. Science encompasses nearly everything, from the natural sciences (physics, biology, chemistry,etc.) to formal sciences (math) to social sciences (history, economics, anthropology, etc.) to applied sciences (engineering, architecture, etc.). I don't think all scientists would be needed to build any one machine. If you mean if all physicists, for example, then they already kind of have. The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva was a collaborative effort among thousands of physicists, mathematicians, engineers, etc. from all over the world. I find it inspiring to see people from different nations come together for any purpose, like the Olympic Games or any kind of large-scale scientific project, like the LHC or the ISS. So while I'd like to see that, like I said before, there's really no reason all scientist would come together for something. How could an anthropologist aid with the LHC, for instance. But could all scientists in a particular field come together for something? Yeah, they already have in some cases and hopefully will again.

Answer 5

Scientists conduct research; they don't invent things. Science progresses through a slow gradual process towards greater knowledge of the universe around us. Inventions mostly come from engineers, mostly in large corporations nowadays. The day of the individual inventor is long past, really part of the 19th century.

Answer 6

No, because that's not how things work.

Answer 7

thats abit random init?

but yes

Answer 8

Now what about Frederick Sanger's dideoxy chain termination technique for sequencing DNA?  Or how about the polymerase chain  reaction thought of by Kary Mullis?  Their impact has not been felt yet, very much. Then there is the white LED.  

All these have appeared in the last 30 years.  All of them could turn out to be very big indeed.  

Molecular biology is where it's at, by the way.

Answer 9

Although someone said already that scientists don't get their hands dirty, it could very well be a combined effort of engineers, scientists, skilled labourers and more that could come together for a global effort.

CERN LHC is done. It's a big machine. Not the conclusion either in the wonders of discovery.

What about a much more incredible project, like a full blown stellar craft? Two miles across and disk shaped and able to house thousands of souls, woman and children first, the elderly and the men.

That would be something to see. Very much. At least it won't be terrestrial works anymore. It would be considered an extra terrestrial project.

Answer 10

You mean like something unexpected like quantum biology?  Or maybe quantum nuclear physics?  Or perhaps you are talking about an artificial wormhole.
