The co-existence of Science & Time



Science and time are entirely two different dimensions co-existing together, yet far apart.
Science and time are very closely related. Study of science is meaningless without knowing the time in which it was made. Science is time bound. It is defined only for a period of time. Science changes its form as time passes by......

          If we look a few centuries back, we can see clearly that the laws of science of that time are different from what we have now. In around 14th century it was believed that heavier mass falls down faster, a force is always needed for a motion, sun revolves around earth and so on.....That was the science in those times,
it changed as time passes, now we know that both lighter & heavier mass reach in the same time uniform motion doesn’t need a force, it is the earth that revolves around the sun.

          The laws which we believe to be true now may not be true after a few centuries. Mass , two centuries back was considered to be a universal constant is no more one, as speed of the particle increases the mass also increases, according to the Einstein's relativity theories. Atomic modals evolved .... new subatomic particles were created to explain the new science.

          That's why I remarked earlier that science is defined for a period of time only. It is time bound. Science of 21st century will not be the science of 29th or of 34th century. It is subjected to change. Science itself is relative and so does the world we live in.
