Q.45-49)

Science is the art of organizing and classifying facts. When you wish to make sure you are dealing with facts, seek scientific sources for their testing wherever possible. Men of science have neither a reason nor the inclination to modify or change facts, nor to misrepresent. The scientists are the most accurate thinkers in the world, because they are searching for whatever is there, not for what they would like to find there.

When Madame Curie started out in search of radium, when nobody knew what radium was like, they didn’t know how many molecules to the atom, they didn’t know where to look for it; she started out with an open mind.

If she hadn’t had an open mind, she never would have discovered the existence of radium. She went on the hypothesis through inductive reasoning that there must be a metal known as radium, and by following certain principles of science she eventually isolated that metal and brought it into captivity.
