Scientific temper is the use of scientific methods in areas other than natural science, like sociological and ethical issues. Acquiring scientific temper is a change in human behaviour and hence not a part of natural science. It gets strengthened not by studying basic natural sciences, but by applying scientific methods to human behaviour. The curriculum of all students (including scientists) needs to include social science and humanities for strengthening their scientific temper.Full Text

The year 2017 was an absolute thriller for workers in gravitation and astrophysics. There were two announcements in August from LIGO collaborations, which now include the Virgo collaboration in Pisa (Italy), apart from the two at Hanford and Livingston (USA). The first observation was that of another black holes’ merger. The second was the merger of two neutron stars, which was communicated to instruments sensitive to different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, like radio waves, optical, gamma rays and so on. Amazingly, these instruments were also able to see the event. The combined data, helped in the recovery of more details of the merger. As Stephen Hawking mentioned in his last BBC interview: ‘We are still rubbing our eyes, or rather ears, as we have just woken up to the sound of gravitational waves.’Full Text
