Imagination is as vital to any advance in science as learning and precision are essential for starting points.
Atlantis was a highly evolved civilization where the sciences and arts were far more advanced than one might guess. Atlantis was technologically advanced in genetic engineering, computer science, inter-dimensional physics, and artistically developed with electronic music and crystal art forms.
It is characteristic of science that the full explanations are often seized in their essence by the percipient scientist long in advance of any possible proof.
Science enhances the moral value of life, because it furthers a love of truth and reverence-love of truth displaying itself in the constant endeavor to arrive at a more exact knowledge of the world of mind and matter around us, and reverence, because every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being.
The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history.

By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview.
Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.
