Best Answer

Anything that is invented to help view different aspects of science has a reason.
The telescope is a tool that helps us zoom into objects and view things in a zoomed way, something we could not do with our naked eyes. So, the telescope, told us about particles, bacteria, planets and everything that we can not see with our naked eyes alone. So, without telescopes, we would not be able to know what makes up sick etc.
