INTRODUCTION

The first question came in our mind about science is what is science and from where does it
comes from ? Various books and websites define science in different ways. For example
according to dictionary, the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic
study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation
and experiment is called science. In some other word science is both a body of knowledge
and a process science is exciting useful ongoing and a global human endeavour. There are
various perception of different philosophers & scientists on the matter of the emergence of
science. Some said that science is the product of the empirical result while other says that
science is the observatory phenomena, some consider it as a generalized approach arises
after speculation. So basically science comes from the observation and the findings of the
logic behind it. It comprises of facts, theories, proofs, calculations and some ungiven
questions.Science has always been an integral part of human culture. Natural philosophy
was pursued vigorously at institutions of higher learning in ancient times. Department of
science has created in order to formulate policies, promoting Innovation and facilitating
research and development. Various research institute provide significant technological
interventions in many areas with regard to societal effort which includes environment,
health, drinking, water, food, housing, energy, farm and non farm sectors. Astronomy,
Astrophysics, Cancer research education and other such various fields where science has
spread its tentacles. Science has come up with safer alternatives. It has also come up with
many disasters alternative replacing previous haphazardeous alternative. Science has given
various wireless technology to the human life. We can say that science is an output of man
who you are in thirst of comfort and fulfilling their imaginations.

Truth or idea in science

As philosopher Donald Davidson describes the situation if coherence is a test of truth there
is a direct connection with epistemology for we have reason to believe many of our beliefs
ko hair with many others and in that case we have reason to believe many of our belief are
true. Truth seems like something we naturally comprehend. Truth is something what our
eyes can see and interpret it in the same manner as by the masses. The various proposition
made by various philosophers and the point where their theories get the recognition of
generalisation can be regarded as under the truth. Epistemology has its charismatic role
with the truth. Both are entangled on the fact that it reaches to certain common
understanding. When truth summarises to the level of understanding then it propagate the
aim of various field.

Angela potochnik Central idea is the idolization involved in the discipline of science. It mean
truth explanation and prediction is the the intermediaries between idealized representation
and the traditional aim of science. It is interesting with the central idea to see that how the
diverse aim of science influence the social values on science.

Science and its development is not bound to empirical evidences, observation and its
generalization rather it is more the output of the concept and the idea of mind which is
simply the product of of imagination. Question which often arises that whether the specific
aim is empirical confirmation, explanation & accurate representation, and if we took the
basis of our previous result it will give you some hint of background knowledge.

Let's take the example of Newton if we assume that the discovery of gravitation is the
product of question then we are left with the another side which switches the outcome of a
truth, which the Newton's mind made before the findings of his actual calculation. So
basically a truth was already there that any object fall towards the surface of the earth but
Newton's effort led a calculated insight into this proposition. So from here we can say that
truth remarks the understanding and science is basically the development of understanding
on the basis of truth.

Sleeping overnight with some ideas and endeavoring to make it fulfilled is the human desire.
Idealization are distortions to be overcome or circumvented in the pursuit of truth but the
use of idealized representation alone, is not confirming to the picture of schema and
correction. Scientists immediate interest is the another factor on which the science has
been grounded. And this is the cognitive platform through which different departments of
science is evolved till today.

Science is also a creative process of community as a whole. Various aspirations give rise to
ideas & ideas give rise to observation which is more or less influenced by the perception
which later demanded an empirical processes. Thus the inventions and advancement of
science can't be credited to any one of the human subjective approach. It is the combined
product of subjectivity and objectivity which lies across the human surroundings. Scientists
could inculcate the medium of its observation and the path of its findings from any of the
source whether it is arbitrary or whether it is fact-based. Truth is not always confined to to
what masses see, it also vary from individual to individual. Often it is said that a spiritualism
begins where science ended, and then after a a different kind of truth begins. Which is
purely based on satisfying the the intellectual need of the person. The inteligencia which
give rise to science and which work on the the proven ideology is Mere a corner of the aim
of science.

Role of Truth IN THE AIM OF SCIENCE

Truth and understanding are two different sides of the same ankle. Knowledge
foresightedness and willing to look behind the the phenomena are the other such factors
which give rise to development of science. Science not only aim of fulfill the aspiration but
also to find the truth. The various sayings and the traditional spoken dialects of our
ancestors are such fields on which aim of science is to find the truth behind it. Aim of
science is also to come across the hurdles of different dimensions of the society. Inquiring
minds analytical thinking and critical power of a human is the the last resort of scientific
endeavour. Scientific information and communication is not only by epiricall effort but also
by the process of correlation between the comfort and discomfort.

Truth and understanding are complementary while truth is guided by belief and the sight of
an individual whereas the understanding make it more permissible for the belief. When
science fails to understand the phenomena to humankind it also fails to give way to new
truth, indirectly a new belief. Various philosophers has worked on the the complexity of
truth and belief. It also plays an important role in shifting from one truth to another. For
example, earlier proposition was made that earth is a flat and at that time it was widely
acceptable that earth was flat. If we assume the previous time when men believe the fact
that earth is flat, became truth. Later on with further innovations and discoveries it was
concluded that earth was round. Thus with the span of time science keep changing the
notion of truth as well. So aim of science is to find the truth, reinvestigate the truth, made
some assumption and then again come to the conclusion of new truth.

FALSEHOOD & UNDERSTANDING

Falsehood literally means untrue. It is something which is opposite of truth. When we are
talking about the aim of science as to discover a truth then the other angle of science lead
us to the reason of falsehood. Falsehood is a pre deposition of human idea. When we
assume something or when a human speculate something it initially lies in a category of
falsehood. Various evidences are speculated in such a manner so as to make a statement
which is generalized on a large number of society and this generalization in its initial phase
termed as falsehood.

The relation between falsehood and science is quite similar to the relation between boat
and rudder. As such the rudder pave the path of boat in the same manner falsehood pave
the direction of the science. The path directed by falsehood can either be disastrous or
valuable. It depend upon the the falsehood which is generated by the idea of conscience. It
is very much true that falsehood helps in the the generation of understanding however it
does not impart any knowledge. The understanding developed by the falsehood is guided by
the the existing knowledge of the scientist which further helps to achieve the aim of science.
Aim of science is to remove the curtain from the various hidden facts and phenomena
surrounding us. This require a series of process in which evidences and supposition both
matters equally. Every supposition is followed by a falsehood which is developed as a
human consciousness it is generated by observations and imaginations.

INTERPLAY BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING

Knowledge is a very broad concept and knowledge does not comes without understanding.
Knowledge need some inevitable understanding of the concept fact and figures. Knowledge
in science means the cognitive efficiency of being a holder scientific temperament. This
scientific temperament does not implies the critical aspect of a rocket science or any other
such field. It simply means to analyse a situation in a rational manner. Rationality comes
after understanding the Central and peripheral issues of any given matters.

Knowledge and understanding is is superimposed by a dream of falsehood unless the


understanding develop knowledge is treated as a falsehood. Let's take an example of a
student who is incapable of understanding the concept of relative theory of Einstein. Now if
such a student make some false processes in its mind to the various aspects of theory of
relativity and get able to understand the concept. In such situation we can say that he
acquire falsehood to make his understanding better. Falsehood also helps to to
understanding the signs and indirectly the aim of science is achieved which is to make the
mind of people analytical and observatory. Falsehood provide the platform on which the
speculation can be made. Falsehood is the harbinger of ideas. Ideas is the fore runner of
concept. Concept is the the direction towards facts. And facts is the generalized approach
which develops from science. Thus, science and aim of science is dependent on falsehood
and the understanding it arises.

CONCLUSION

Falsehood opens the door of understanding & on some part it is convincing too. But it must
say that science itself is not the only area which follows the thesis of falsehood. Machine are
the gift of science which helps in the accomplishment of wishes of mankind. Whatever,
either myth or reality, this come to light it by the command of science. The present status of
human is due to the research and exploration which is undergone from the falsehood begin
as a forerunner of speculation. But such things also apply beyond the discipline of science.
In the field of medical and astronomy search address and speculation is erected over the
falsehood and begin with the understanding of its nature which circumvented around the
perception. Science is itself a broad term which has the other known and vast branches. And
such generalised approach from truth understanding and falsehood helps to progress the
science in any manner they want.
