Although some scientific research is into specific problems, a great deal of our understanding comes from the curiosity-driven undertaking . This leads to options for technological advance that were not planned or sometimes even imaginable. This point was made by Michael Faraday when allegedly in response to the question "what is the use of basic research?" he responded "Sir, what is the use of a new-born child. For example, research into the effects of red light on the human eye's did not seem to have any practical purpose; eventually, the discovery that our is not troubled by red light would lead teams (among others) to adopt red light in the cockpits of jets and helicopters. In a nutshell, basic research is the search for knowledge, and applied research is the search for solutions to practical problems using this knowledge. Finally, even basic research can take unexpected turns, and there is some sense in which the scientific method is built to.

Political usage
Many issues damage the relationship of science to the media and the use of science and scientific arguments by as a very broad generalisation, many politicians seek certainties and facts whilst scientists typically offer probabilities and caveats. However, politicians' ability to be heard in the frequently distorts the scientific understanding by the public. Examples in the include the controversy over the and the 1988 forced resignation of a Government Minister for revealing the high probability that farmed eggs were contaminated with.
Researchers from the US and Canada have described Scientific Certainty Argumentation Methods (SCAMs), where an organization or think tank makes it their only goal to cast doubt on supported science because it conflicts with political agendas. Hank Campbell and microbiologist Alex Berezow have described "feel-good fallacies" used in politics, especially on the left, where politicians frame their positions in a way that makes people feel good about supporting certain policies even when scientific evidence shows there is no need to worry or there is no need for dramatic change on current programs.
