But growth of the eye also depends heavily on external cues — what scientists call visual feedback. In addition to the actual growth of science and scientific activity, there has been much effort to show that such progress benefits the economy through a line of investigation tying basic research to patents production. An international group of astronomers believe they have answered the question of how young stars are able to fuel the growth of their own stars. To explain the problem, the IEA produced three possible scenarios of global warming that show the link between energy policy and future rises in average global surface temperature of 2C, 4C and 6C.

Researchers presently use the grant-peer review system to get funding and this system has been criticized for diluting the effort towards pure, theoretical research by encouraging researchers to investigate applied science ventures of questionable scientific merit.
