My top 7 'emotional-science' examples

"A person understanding the real essence of science can never be a poet, until and unless, he/she comes to an imaginary world." - Grewal's Law

Well, this statement does makes sense. I'll give you some examples here which demonstrate how human have influenced his own thinking by misinterpretations of the happenings in nature. What is present in actual remains unknown to man until he studies science, and his world remains an imaginary one. It might be beneficial in some sense, like emotional support etc., but in most cases, it is rather diverting and lays a negative impression, sometimes even harmful for humanity.

Here I present my top 7 examples to show why a person can not be a scientist as well a poet simultaneously. In all the following images, the left portion shows how we interpret things, whereas the right portion shows how it actually exists.

1) Eyes like a lady-deer? Poetic! But what the truth is something very deep. In my view, there doesn't exist anything like a beautiful eye. The eyes of both, a newly born child, and an old man with glucoma are analysed in a similar fashion by an optician, but not by someone who has never seen an eye surgery. It seems hurting to them when they see a cornea being cut during an eye transplant.

2)

A Hindu idol never breaks, it undergoes a Bhang (भंग). Why after all? Because it is god. Wow! What was it when it was being carved in a shop? Or when the coloring wasn't complete? Was it not god at that point of time while it was being sold? No, it was just a piece of rock. Oh do the hell with this idol worship.

3) I appreciate patriotism. I myself am a patriot. But you know what? It's just a feel. Does air has a patriotism? Or Peacocks? Or snakes? Indeed there exist a theme in biology named as 'Niche', and division of land is a natural fact among selfish genes. But also don't forget that a flag is just made up of a fabric. What makes it special to us is just a feel, not science. Science has no country. What law of gravity is being followed in India is also applicable in Pakistan. A real essence of being human lies in "सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः"

4) Oh, you wake up early in the morning. But your child doesn't, though it is a good habit. Tell him a story that Sun is a god and praying him early in the morning will cause him favor. This trick may work, but eventually you will throw your child under wrong concepts, making him forgetting nuclear fusion and believe only in god. Your motive is noble, but method is not. If you really desire the child to progress, make him understand the sun as a star as well as tell him the profits of getting early. Else, one day he will wake up, pray to god, and go back to bed. You don't want that.. Do you?

5) Representing heart as the center of emotions is an age old process. Falling in love causes brain to ask adrenaline to be released, increasing anxiety, dilating iris, increasing blood sugar, and neither last, nor the least increasing heartbeat rate. What you can feel is only heart beating faster. And our ancestors believed that it is the heart only that makes you fall in love. But you know very well that heart is nothing except a pumping machine. Next time, include brain in your poems, not heart. It has nothing to do with love.

6) Soothing light, applications of colors in disco party, light at the heart and what not. Great is the light. But saying phrases like 'the enlightened heart' doesn't make sense at all. One reason is as explained above (point 5), heart has nothing to do with knowledge or character. Another obvious reason is, that heart remains in dark from the time of its formation, till the time of your death, provided, you don't cut out the chest and show it to the literal light. Don't forget, light is just another EM wave, an energy in transit. Indeed, the first person saying "Buddha, the enlightened one" must have been a poet by nature :).

7) And finally, the most important one - RELIGION. What difference do you see among two new born infants lying on the same bed, wrapped in hospital cloths, but one being Hindu by birth, another being Muslim? Different breeds? Indeed irrelevant discussion by rational men, but if still you don't like things dissimilar to you (here a person from another religion), why don't you go and kill your domestic buffalo or your pet dog (an animal of another species)? Stupid and most dumb assholes think on the issues like religion and castes. Science will treat both babies as just another mammal with a notochord at some point of their life. So does a scientist. An african doctor will never mind operating upon a racist american for his appendicitis, following the Hippocratic oath.

So here were my top 7 examples to show why 'fiction literature' writer is different from a 'science book' author. I know that the examples could have been even better. But only these few examples struck my mind at this point of time. Hope, I transmitted the message I wanted to convey.
