Before going to decide that, we are agree with this statement or not, we should first understand what the true meaning of the statement is. The main emphasis in the statement is on “perfect” which comes with the meaning off-lawless, accurate, complete and many others.
To decide our answer firstly we have to think that, is any research ever been done with the assurance of absoluteness, that doesn’t need any alteration? So that the researcher can say that now there is no need to do more research as it is the last and final results. The answer is no. I don’t ever notice such circumstances in my whole life.
On other side I have experienced many inventions by great researchers. They do their best to invent. Although they were thinking that they have invented the best thing, but after sometimes they bring some innovation in their own inventions. One example in my mind is of Apple, a multinational corporation. The corporation researcher does their best and introduces the I-Pod, a line of portable media players. Then they introduce I-Phone, I-Pad and so on.
To quote this example here is to justify my agreement to the above said statement” There is no hope of doing perfect research”. This shows that although the researchers introduced I-Pod with this thinking that they have introduced the perfect technology available in media players industry, but after some time the creation was get old stuff, so there arise a need to refine the research and to do more research and after all these the researchers bring more innovation in their product. So this example helps us to decide that there is no hope of doing a perfect research.
If researches have ever been perfect, then there will be no need of any development or improvement in the results, because they having perfect result. Our life will stop developing because there is no need of any further change. But time changes itself and our life need to be developed by the time passing. If there will be no change our life will be color less and under developed as compare to the time. Life is developing itself since our ancestors and the researches remains a part of life since human being came into existence.
One more example I can quote here is about the computer. Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, a mechanical engineer and an inventor. He was the inventor of the first mechanical computer that was very complex in design. Although the invention of Charles Babbage’s mechanical computer was the latest, more advanced machine in the line. But By the passage of time the model was getting old, its calculation was limited. Then people were expecting more form the computer and bring innovation and introduced much more advanced machine. Since 1700 to present the computer has changed a lot in its working conditions. Its speed getting much faster now, all that is happening by the passing of time, and because of the human unsatisfied nature.
The main point here to say is that the research is endless procedure which having no end. It is like a forest, getting deeper inside, getting more lost. With every turn into forest you get many direction to chose that where to go now? Same as with coming to an answer after a good research, the answer itself creates many directions for you. Research can go on as long as the human life is in its existence and all it is happening because human desires and wants never come to an end and never satisfied with the available resources.
