Why scientific articles are written in complicated words

"Speak louder, please. I can't hear you."
"No, I can't. Because you will understand and found my mistake."

At least, there are two reasons why scientists should write their work in complicated words, first they have to attract editor’s mind and second is to find the relation between their works with the funding mission. Therefore, the science work is little bit ignored to pursue bureaucracy and begin to loose the main stream. That is why we are difficult to understand their article.

Science development mostly depends on editors and funding organization. If a science development cannot make editor interested or out of funding organization’s mission, the science will dry out tough public need it most.

Public need many technology for their living. One of the public needs is flying car to deal with traffic jam. But there are too small number of organizations that develop flying car. Why giant company do not interest to develop flying car? Because our 'science' do not allow flying car. Any ideas of flying car will be rejected before being considered.

We has not investigate all probability to make flying car, so it is our stupidity if we claim that fying car is impossible.

Scientific articles are written in complicated words because often the science itself is complicated.If you made the words simple, you could easilly lose meaning and create false scientific ideas.

Scientific articles were never simple to understand and are not intended for the general public. Isaac Newton wrote all of his articles in Latin. This was so that all other scientists around the world could understand him no matter what language they spoke. The common people have never read scientific articles.

Scientific articles also need to be brief to fit into the publishing requirements of scientific magazines. Complicaded words shorten the length of that article.

Even the editors and people providing funding are "regular" people. Every scientist should know how to explain their research to common people, it's the art of simplifying that gets the $$$, not the complication of it.

The science of a flying car is simply not profitable at the moment. In general every one wants a flying car. I've never heard anyone say that it's not possible. But science isn't there yet. We don't have enough science to create a full-scale flying car.

Part of these "complicated" scientific articles are to get the little bits and pieces of science together first, and then start on something bigger.
