Question -

“Politics is the art of the possible”. Similarly, “Science is the art of the soluble”. Explain this beautiful aphorism on the nature and practice of science.



Answer -

Politicians would make anything possible by their sheer words. But majority of things may not be possible in practice. Whereas science can make us understand the phenomena around us. e.g. total solar eclipse shows an interesting aspect of solar temperature. Its chromosphere temperature is about 6000 K. But as we go out towards the rim, it first falls and then suddenly rises to a million kelvin or higher. Science is concerned to provide an explanation or find a solution to this riddle. The repeated practice of science allows us to hypothesis, make calculations, experiment with these and then predict the possible solution.
