BENGALURU: The Karnataka chapter of India March For Science (IMFS), a collective of scientists, has appealed to the government to stop the proposed conference themed “Akash Tatva”, scheduled for November 5 and 7 in Dehradun, which according to the Centre is aimed at introducing the youth to the ‘wisdom of ancient science along with modern scientific advancements’.
“There are only two types of science – good science and bad science. Though we are all proud of our ancestors and their contributions to overall human development, there is nothing to be gained by projecting their teachings as totally equivalent to science. We reject the concept of Panchabhutas — the sky, the earth, water are not elements,” the IMFS statement read.
Reiterating that such concepts have been deleted from science books a long time ago, IMFS argues that to bring them back was a “retrograde step” and should be rejected.
