India’s challenge is science, not Pseudo science

 

Science world is primarily used about the natural science and other fields of research that are considered to be similar to them. Political economy and socially can be counted be as science, whereas literature and history are not.

Pseudo-science is an attempt to value free definition of the term would not be meaningful. Problems is pseudo science follows directly from a parallel but some 

problems with concept of science.

At the present time science is developed and it is very useful in our daily life.From the past we developed our infrastructure science play effective role in our inventions. Dr. CV Raman, Satyendra Nath Bose, APJ Abdul kalam, Aditi Pant many famous scientist, which given the contribution in science development.

Characteristics of Science:

Objectivity: scientific knowledge is objective, objectives guards as against wishes, beliefs, values and preferences.

Verifiability: Science rests upon sense data, data gather through our sense, as: nose, eye, tounge.

Ethical neutrality: Science is ethically natural. Ethical neutrality does not mean 

that the scientist has no values. Its means knowledge about atomic energy can be use to cure diseases or to use atomic warfare.

Relalibility: Scientific knowledge must occur under the prescribed circumstances not once but repeatedly.

Precision: Scientific knowledge is precise. It is not vague like some literacy writing.

Accuracy: scientific knowledge is accuracy. Accuracy means truth or correctness of a statement and describing things in exact words.

Predictability: Science is a good way to predict anything. Todays, IMD used science to predict the weather climate conditions.

If we talk about pseudo science it’s used the confuse information. It’s used inconsistent and invalid logics. It is starts with conclusion, then works backwards to confirm.

Pseudo Science Behavior

·        Lack of effective controls, as double blind in experimental design.

· Lack of understanding of basic and established principles of physics and English.

·        Lack of self correction.

·        Lack of scientific claims and lack of specific measurements.

·        Claims with little or no explanatory power.

·        Failure to make use of operational definitions.

·        Failure to make responsible use of the principle of parsimony.

·        Use of un-understandable language.

·        Tight social groups and group link can enhance to the adoption of belief that have no rational basics.

Challenge with Science:

Science quality: Every challenge is dynamic and includes mechanism to bring new ideas, researches and fresh challenge. Each research plan involves identifying and selecting the best science to address the challenge.

Mission-led: Each challenge is mission led and focuses research on achieving the challenge objective and outcomes.

Public participation: Each challenge involves public outreach and exhibits strong engagement between researches and end users of the research activity.

Lack of Infrastructure: Lack of proper infrastructure for test, experiments creates challenges.

Recently, Indian science congress association organization of India started in year 1914.

·        Advances and promote the cause of science in India.

·        Selling all properties of the association.

·        Secure and manage funds and endowments.
