Science and war are two different terms but they are found to have been deeply related. The existence of war initiated before the invention of scientific discoveries which are nowadays used as the ode of means of the war. The mode of the war has been made destructive due to misuse of the scientific discoveries and deadly devices.
It is said that the modern scientific discoveries have made everything more comfortable. Nowadays we can travel around the world in twenty four hours. We can enjoy everything sitting at our homes. Due to the invention of scientific discoveries, we have achieved complete access to each of the corners of the world. On the other hand, the means of scientific discoveries are willingly misused for the destruction of human civilization; no doubt, it's the worst aspect of science and technology. The discoveries of science and technology cannot be said to be completely responsible for making the mode of war destructive because no scientific discoveries are destructive themselves if we use them properly.
Due to the misunderstanding among or between the countries along with the development of battle instruments, wars break out. The powerful countries try to take control of whole world under them. But it is not accepted by others countries. So due to the so called supremacy of powerful countries and the feeling if self-dignity of the others countries, wars automatically breakout and they ultimately invite catastrophic consequences.
Science is not the cause of war but it is absolutely functions as a promoter. The means of scientific discoveries are misused as the weapons of war by the people. Nowadays various kinds of weapons are widely used all over the world. So an intricate relation between science and war exists at the root of modern battles. The deadly devices and discoveries have intensified the modes of the wars. We human beings prove to be brutal and hostile to put our race an end through the tremendous misuse of scientific devices; for instance two entire cities in Japan were completely ruined as the result of atom bomb.
Although science does not play the prime role to break out wars; it has undoubtedly and unquestionably promoted and intensified the mode of the wars and deadly scientific discoveries of it. Modern wars and deadly scientific discoveries have emerged inextricably. Therefore the relation between science and war has been widened and promoted.
