Science, Nature, and the Illusion of Control: From Invention to Interference in the 21st Century

This paper examines the philosophical and ethical boundary between invention and interference in the relationship between science and nature. While science originated as a method of understanding natural laws, contemporary practice increasingly reflects a shift toward manipulation, control, and alteration of natural systems. The paper argues that this shift is driven not by science itself, but by the unconscious use of it—where human intention overrides natural balance. It further explores the illusion of control as a central mistake of humanity and critiques the emerging desire for species-level immortality. The study concludes that this unconscious pursuit of control is not preserving life, but actively driving its destruction, including the very species that seeks to dominate.
