ABSTRACT

Science is an important element in the efforts to move beyond sustainability. In the long run, science should also help us in meeting destiny as human beings on this planet and elsewhere. Science is likely to be a key element in these efforts, as already saw its potential contribution to various goals. As a major tool for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), science is therefore contributing to achieving happiness also. Apart from this general contribution, science is also helping us in the quest for happiness through the relatively new, specific area of "happiness science." Artificial intelligence has undoubtedly been an important spark from the spirit of science. Science and technology—the spirit and its sparks—are crucial factors in the efforts. The message was based as much as possible on the rules of science, which are presumably applicable anywhere in the universe.
