No, I don't think they are bad just because they discovered it. We, the humans are the ones that change everything for good or bad, that will depend on the intentions and goals. The same concept could apply to the airplanes, they were invented to transport people from one place to another in a shorter period of time, not to carry guns, bombs and weapons!

I think one must examine why the discovery was made.  There is a very grey area between bad and good when thinking about things like the atomic bomb.  I'm sure because of the atomic bomb, there was much scientific research that followed that might not have happened without it.  I also think that it is hard to say that a discovery that killed so many people was good.

I don't think that anything is in and of itself bad.  I think it that is all about how things are used.  So the atomic bomb itself is not bad, but when it is used for evil purposes, that would be bad.  However, if somehow it could be repurposed for a positive use, that would be using it for good.

This is not an easy question to answer. First of all the atomic bomb was not discovered it was created by man. Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassman discovered nuclear fission. When an atom of radioactive material splits into lighter atoms, there's a sudden, powerful release of energy. The question rather should be whether an atomic bomb should of been used against fellow human beings.

yes, some scientific discoveries are bad. It destroy other people and land. It should not be made to hurt people and land.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the discovery of the atomic bomb is not bad, but rather those who utilize it to destroy others are bad. I think it is important to advance science and make new discoveries, and although some discoveries can be used for evil or destruction, I don't believe it is the scientists fault that the discovery was used for wrongdoing.

# data[].attributes.headline
I wanted to start this by saying I do think that some discoveries are bad even when the intentions are good.  There are many things that went awry even if someone wanted the best.  Lets take strip mining.  Using coal as a resource for industry was huge!  However, it is a big pollutant, is finite in its availability, and the way we get it has destroyed parts of the Earth.  Then, I realized that the destruction was the catalyst to finding other ways to produce power, which has been really good for us in terms of fixing what we already messed up.

I think given what we most commonly know about atomic bombs - the chaos, destruction to societies and planet, loss of life - has most people perceiving them in a negative light; an extremely bright light (get it?). So, we know how atomic bombs have been used historically, but what if they could be used to create life? A study done at Stanford made calculations about nuking Mars' ice cap to vaporize the CO2 and also create water vapor - both are highly effective greenhouse gasses that can thicken the thin atmosphere of Mars and regulate the temperature to be more habitable for life. The study concluded that the entire world's arsenal of nuclear weapons would not yield a sufficient outcome, but only a fraction of what was needed. But, think of the analogy of a firecracker in the palm of an open hand going off, and a firecracker in the palm of a closed hand going off. Perhaps the nukes would need to be drilled into the ice before detonation to have a greater impact. There's also a risk that this forced terraforming could destroy what chances of life are already there. Obviously more studies need to be conducted to determine the pros and cons. Perhaps we can innovate better alternatives than a good atomic bomb yielding potentially bad or ineffective results.

No, I don't believe that they're considered bad. If it wasn't for the discovery atomic bomb, we wouldn't know what we do today. History would be altered. The intent was to gain more knowledge, insight. Ultimately its what the  scientific discovery is used for is what can be considered good/bad not the actual discovery.

Yes, some scientific discoveries had good intentions but didn't go so well for the ones that were at the hands of the discovery.  While in the past history of discoveries there was not known knowledge of the long term effects.  Einstein's equation opened the world to possibilities but, it also opened the world to mass destruction when J. Robert Oppenheimer was head of the team that created the first atomic bomb that was detonated.  No one knew what that would bring later on but it brought on many complications later for the people that handled the atomic bombs and that were exposed to them.

Some of this discoveries like the atomic bomb not only has killed and harm people but people have long term effects like cancer because of this discovery. Not to mention now the constant power between countries because they have this resources to threaten others with.

No. Things - discoveries - inanimate objects - cannot be good or evil. They exist as neutral. They do not have morality. It is us as humans that can use something for good or evil, because we have morality. Even things that were once used for bad can be taken and used for good by other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientific discoveries in of themselves are neither inherently good nor bad.  Even if the intention of the invention was for ill gotten gain, knowledge in the scientific community has been furthered and good can come of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that scientific discoveries are bad if the individual had good intentions. I think that what they choose to do with their new knowledge and discovery could be what makes their actions good or bad, but not based off the discovery alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Discovery is about seeking a new way or truth to enhance a situation. The curiosity behind the discovery is what leads to cures of some of the world's most awful diseases. Now, once your discovery causes more harm than good, you must cease any further activity.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't think scientific discoveries are necessarily bad, Gaining new knowledge is not bad but what you do with that knowledge could be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think scientific discoveries mean a discovery of new truth, which is a good thing. The use of that knowledge, on the other hand, can certainly be bad. However, I cannot judge the discovery itself as a bad thing.

# data[].attributes.body
My answer is yes. Not all discoveries benefit the world even with the best of intentions. The atomic bomb was beneficial to United States but I am not sure the rest of the world would agree.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Scientific discoveries are judged as "good" or "bad" by balancing multiple factors that contribute to their overall value to humanity. Some can be clearly labeled as better than the others: penicillin is good, cigarettes are not. But many discoveries are hard to place in either category: things like plastic or automobiles, which have high utility value, but contribute to pollution and a climate change. The discovery of atomic energy could have been a blessing for a human kind as a source of clean energy. However, the creation of an atomic bomb that in the wrong hands can destroy an entire Planet within a few hours does not compensate for whatever good intentions someone has had while contemplating it. As the old adage goes: " The road to Hell..."

# data[].attributes.body
I say yes, because not every scientific discovery benefits the world, even if the intentions are perceived as good. The atomic bomb helped the U.S. win WW II, but it was not beneficial to the rest of the world.

No, a scientific discovery is inherently neutral. The only good or bad comes from how it is used and for what purpose. Also how the discovery is made. Like the Nazi medical "discoveries" made in the Holocaust that came from torturing innocent people.

I think there can be some scientific inventions that can be bad, like the atomic bomb. There are somethings that just don't need to be created or messed with.

Cydnee Dwyer - Yes; scientific discoveries can be bad even if they individual had good intentions because I fell it comes down to how we as humans decide to use these discoveries. The discovery itself is a simple part of life, however, they way humans manipulate this discovery is what makes it bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the term "discovery" is the important thing here. If a scientist makes a discovery, that cannot be bad because it is simply a part of the world. Some elements on our planet are toxic to humans but discovering their existence cannot by definition be bad. If however, a scientist is "inventing" things through their scientific research that are purposefully harmful, that would be much closer to "bad". If Newton was hurt by an apple falling on his head, that pain was worth the discovery of gravity and the understanding it gave us to different things.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't think of positive or "good" outcome of an atomic bomb. Innocent life is lost.  The bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki did ultimately bring about the end of WW II but at what cost?  I do think a scientist or inventor does have some culpability as to why/how their "creation"  was invented and how it could be utilized in the future.  Do the positive outcomes of the invention outweigh the negative ones? J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist and "Father of the Atomic Bomb" once quoted from Bhagavad Gita, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."...so yes I think he's responsible for the negative result of the atomic bomb as well as the only good to come out of it...the end of World War II.

Yes, some scientific discoveries are bad because they are used in ways that are harmful to society.  The atomic bomb is a great scientific feat, however it destroyed many peoples lives and homes when used in war.  It significantly changed the way war was conducted. I also think of the many chemical compounds that have been discovered that are used in manufacturing, fertilizers, and other industries that pollute our air and water.  This has caused permanent damage to our Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, there are some inventions that are bad and/or can be used for bad by someone else other than the originator of the invention. Though many inventions can and will be abused, some things just shouldn't be created to begin with due to the destructive nature of them. The atomic bomb changed the face of warfare forever. It is scary to think of people improving on this invention knowing it can destroy the human race in a matter of seconds.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree that scientific discoveries like the atomic bombs are bad.   Inventions like the atomic bomb put the extinction of the human race at the tip of human hands.  On another note, speaking on the energy side of things, the atomic bomb has been proven to not be as effective as scientist once thought and the waste from the bomb is enriched plutonium which is extremely toxic.  Scott Stephens

We got to the good by going through the bad.

Suppose there was a an alien invasion to wipe out the human race, but we rid our atomic bombs. What do we use then, in order to protect ourselves?

The atomic bomb and any human inventions are bad if the individual had bad intentions.
