Science, reason& compassion
02 / Method
Science is not merely a collection of facts. It is a method—a disciplined way of asking questions about nature and testing our ideas against reality. Through observation, experimentation, and critical thinking, science helps us gradually uncover how the universe works and how we fit within it.
03 / Skepticism
At Desi Science Page, we embrace scientific skepticism. Extraordinary claims deserve careful examination, and beliefs should stand on the strength of evidence. By questioning assumptions and evaluating evidence critically, we can separate what is true from what only appears convincing.
04 / Curiosity
Curiosity drives everything we do. Here you will find discussions ranging from scientific discoveries and cognitive biases to philosophy, ethics, and the psychology of belief. At the same time, we examine pseudoscience, misinformation, and quackery—because misleading claims can cause real harm. Our goal is to provide information that is reliable, evidence-based, and intellectually honest.
05 / Sentientism
Desi Science Page also embraces the principles of sentientism, recognizing that all sentient beings—humans, animals, and potentially future forms of intelligence capable of experience—deserve moral consideration and ethical treatment.
06 / Compassion
Understanding the world through science, reason, and compassion can help us build a better future.Whether you are a lifelong science enthusiast or someone just beginning to explore rational thinking, this space is for you.
So stay curious!Ask questions!Follow the evidence!

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.”
“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.”
“Science is the poetry of reality.”
“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”
“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”
“The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.”
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.”

// Appetite for wonder
Richard Dawkins -Appetite for wonder
“The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that make life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living is quite finite.”
