Are there any negative impacts that science has had?

Answer 1

Science and knowledge in general are detrimental to societies who's view of civilization is based on superstition and ignorance. Astronomy would adversely impact:

• The Flat Earth Society
  
• Religions which support a young Eath/Universe
  
• Supporters of the uniqueness of the Earth

Answer 2

I don't see why simply gathering knowledge would have a negative impact. Unless too much resources are spent on that - but in general, the tendency is rather to spend a very, very small portion of each country's resources on such things.

Answer 3

Science in itself has no negative effects but its depends on how one uses science for negative purposes such as its use to generate nuclear weapons, chemical weapons .
