Abstract: The “exponential growth” paradox of science and technology size is an unsolved problems of the science of science. By the analysis of the Price “exponential growth”, this paper pointed out that the “exponential growth” paradox mainly due to the reverse of science and technology system “input” and “output”, and the incorrect judgment which science and technology develops faster than anything. Based on the reasoning of the rationality and feasibility of investment as the indicators of science and technology scale, the statistical analysis of science and technology funds demonstrates that the growth rule of science and technology size is the coordinate growth between science and technology and economy in essence. The mechanism and enlightenment of this coordination growth are also discussed. The coordination growth indicates that if the increasing funds needs are not met, the world center of science and technology will be transferred to the nation which invest more in science and technology and whose economic growth rate is higher.
