Basic science or “pure” science seeks to expand knowledge regardless of the short-term application of that knowledge. It is not focused on developing a product or a service of immediate public or commercial value. The immediate goal of basic science is knowledge for knowledge’s sake, though this does not mean that, in the end, it may not result in a practical application.
Although basic sciences literally means attaining the knowledge of basic sciences, it does not mean that in the end the knowledge will be worthless. It functions as a base of knowledge to keep filling more on top.
