Sort of. I have a degree in chemistry, which I used quite a lot in my working life. I have never done research of my own, though, apart from the Part 2 year at university (which was in gas kinetics).

Why do scientists want to find the end of universe ?

Even an owl do the same thing during night. what's the difference ?
I doubt the owl knows what it is looking at (galaxies, stars, etc.) whereas we do.

An owl doubts the same for humans.I doubt the owl knows what it is looking at (galaxies, stars, etc.) whereas we do.

When you turn on a light bulb you benefit from science. People searched the phenomena
of electricity, and how photons of light are generated. They studied polymers in chemistry
and gave you the plastics in that light system. And the nature of semi-conductors and light
emitting diodes which gave you the circuitry if it's a LED light.
Indeed, radio telescopic study of distant galaxies gave us WiFi.
So that's why scientists study everything - it helps make our life better to understand the
universe we live in.

A few million light years. That's the difference
Well I have looked at Saturn and seen the rings around such, with just some binoculars, so know that it accords with what astronomers have said about it. I also saw the Schumacher-Levy comet crash into Jupiter via the same binoculars (1994), so I'm not going to argue too much with what astronomers claim about the rest of the planetary objects, stars, and galaxies. I still doubt any creatures other than humans know such.

That is not science and someone can use science so that you have a worse life.
Stop make science in something it is not. It is useful both to do good and bad. But science can't answer if you should do good or bad or answer what good and bad is.

But, that because an owl DOES NOT exercise, he just simply looks
But human does, isn't it ?

Aside from this being a rather absurd proposition... Bending over backwards over it, the answer would be: Because they are curious. It's nice to know.
And the more we know about the universe and its composition, the better our overall understanding of the universe as well as its origins.
Knowledge is its own reward.

Yes, it is science. The search for the white LED meant scientists needed to create a blue
LED (to join with red and green) - that project by two Japanese companies cost over a
billion US dollars. Just one example.
Science is not or bad - it is knowledge. What someone wants to do with that knowledge
is a different thing. And right or wrong is not the realm of science but of religion.

Knowledge its own reward, true that.
This means, they think that their knowledge will always remain incomplete if they will NOT know about the origin of the universe by knowing about the universe and its composition, isn't it ?

Evidence of that, please.

No.
Rather: they (and every other person that can think somewhat rationally) know that their knowledge will always remain incomplete - regardless of them figuring out the universes origins and its composition.
There will always be more stuff to learn, more things to discover.
Not sure why you wrote that with some kind of hint as if it was some kind of "gotcha" moment. Perhaps I'm reading to much into it.

It absolutely, definatly isn't in the most obvious of ways.
So obvious that I can't believe people still say such nonsensical things.

Can you find right and wrong in a microscope, telescope or mathematical equation?

No, how come it is religion?
But, that because an owl DOES NOT exercise, he just simply looks
But human does, isn't it ?
And flies (exercise) and hunts (exercise)

How ? explain.
Owls fly, flying is exercise. 'tiz not rocket science

You mean scientist are SURE that there will never be end to learning ?
"gotcha" ???
You really made me laugh too much!
