Science and poetry

Science and poetry is one thing! They are not separate things. Prof. Richard Dawkins says that "Science is poetry of reality!". Jitendra Joshi (a Marathi poet, actor and artist in fact) says in his poem that when scientists go behind words, they make some inventions and when poets go behind them, they keep going behind words.... Its a beautiful poem. I will find it out and will share it soon. 

Doing science needs instruments. These instruments are costly and are rare. People who have got these instruments are fortunate. They have option to use or not to use them. But what about people who have not got these instruments! Poetry is their only solace! They have no other option left but to take help of poetry to express themselves or to search something if they don't have instruments of science. (Specific degrees or specific training or education is also a kind of instrument in my opinion in this context!)

Hence poetry is a field where one might find many potential scientists! Their name is unknown to science. Their language is different and sometimes even difficult to understand unless you are in that plane of mind. But still they are scientists who can see truth. At least I respect these poets like scientists!
