"Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate their subject matters."

Quite self-explanatory. Science stands alone and of itself. What people do with the knowlege derived from science is a whole other story! Good question.

life is life, it is an everyday thing, well until you die anyway, the environment, not the sky but your surroundings , society, people, and habits are forever changing by the everyday life that people commit. Sciences do not change things, they try to examine them, people do and that is yet to be vulnerable to change by anything "except" by the brain, which is controlled by the mind, or conscience. That concept of thought is guarded by the individual and there are billions of individuals on earth, therefore sciences cannot cover such a vast majority and have an influence strong enough to alter the nature of so many.

even through all of our knowledge and technology and "advancement", we cannot change the basic natures of human beings. essentially what this person is saying is...you might be able to teach a dog new tricks, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a dog.

both can create things to manipulate the systems studied, but will never change their basic natures.
