Based on an examination of numerous typical examples from the history of modern science, this book introduces and analyzes how factors such as the resistance of conventional forces, the suppression by reactionary classes, policy errors, the oppression of academic authority, and the interference of jealousy have delayed the discovery and recognition of scientific achievements, limited their dissemination and application, and caused suffering to creators.
