Why are scientist's historically weak willed?

Why do scientists study the universe only to let that knowledge be strong armed into exploitation by laymen? It could be weapons of mass destruction, bioengineered diseases or satellites used for spying and sabotage. It doesn't matter what the outcome of the research is, there is a 99.9% chance that every scientific discovery will be used for destruction of the world and what do scientists do; not one thing. Sure, they may "speak out" but in the end of the story they get steamrolled into submission damn near every single time. Scientists should care more about the applications of their discoveries otherwise they will eventually provide the means to destroy the very world they love to study.

I was trying to measure the weight of a 15M giant human. I used the cube-square law and also the BMI formula (considering 21 for a healthy body), but they gave COMPLETELY different and disproportionate results.

The square-cube law results in more than 40 tons, while the BMI results in less than 5 tons. What the fuck? Can someone tell me which one would be more correct, please?

If you traveled forwards or backwards in time, would you stay in the same physical location? Because wouldn't that mean you would end up in space, since the Earth moves around the sun and the entire solar system is also moving within the galaxy?
