Q.No : 141- 145
Read the following Passage and answer the Questions (141 to 145) given below:
  Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Its goal is to find out how the world works? To seek what regularities there may be to penetrate to the connections of things- from sub nuclear particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community and thence to the cosmos as a whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely because of the limitations of the sense organs, which, of course perceive directly but the small fraction of the phenomena of the world. Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of the friction a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on the openness to see the universe as it is really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage- at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom.
