Science is not flat. It has never been flat. It may never become flat.

In my view, despite its numerous unintended outcomes, the intent of science has and continues to change the world for the better.
I don’t think that it is unfair to argue that the intent of science has changed the world for the better far more than religions, wars, and treaties.
Throughout history, scientific breakthroughs are like rising mountains, which make its terrain not flat and may never become flat.
Archimedes’ discovery has been a mountain like Galileo’s or Newton’s or Einstein’s and those of many others.
Granted that this is the case, the litmus test for humanity is if there is any entity or government in the world that is entitled to the imagination of any human being in the world who happens to be a scientist.
Would Galileo, who was wronged by The Vatican, authorize his imagination to be used exclusively by any entity or government in the world?
I don’t not think so.
In the very likelihood that this is the case, what source of authority entitles any entity or government in the world to an exclusive benefit of the imaginations of scientists?
More importantly, how is that scientists themselves failed to make their imaginations readily available without borders to humanity?
