Imaginative stories have no place in Science: Writer

March 1, 2020

Mysore/Mysuru: Maintaining that imaginative stories have no place in science, renowned Writer and Speaker Dr.G. Ramakrishna said that Science Literature would not remain true to its meaning if imaginative stories creep in.

He was speaking after presiding over a seminar on ‘Scientific Stories and Science Among Common Man,’ as part of the three-day Kannada theatre festival organised by CSIR-CFTRI  in association with Mysuru Vijnana Natakothsava Samithi Trust, marking National Science Day at Cheluvamba Hall in CFTRI premises, on the third and concluding day today.

Highlighting the need to discover the quantity of scientific elements and that of literature while debating on Scientific Literature, Dr. Ramakrishna said that while literature can have a lot of imaginary thinking, it is not so in case of science.

Stressing on the need for differentiating between Science and Mythology, he said that all Mythology are not history. While rationalisation can be done in respect of stories, it cannot be done in scientific writings, he noted.

Speakers Prof.K.N. Ganeshaiah, former faculty of UAS, Bengaluru, Savitha Srinivas, ADG, Bengaluru, Bengaluru based freelance journalist Tonse Ganesh Shenoy and others were present.
