摘要

I have titled this article as 'Fun, and joy of science: Learning from anomalies and discontinuities'. Why have I chosen this topic? I find that many of our scientists and engineers are generally comfortable in status quo. Most of us are happy with organized research. A problem is posed and a solution is found. We use all the known tools of science, theoretical and experimental; be they instrumental, which span an amazing range of length and time scales, or computational, whose power and reach are becoming mind-boggling. Invariably we develop models and theories and try to fit the experimental data or we do vice versa. When the models fit the experiments, we are all happy. The student is happy, since he can finish his Ph D thesis in time and perhaps seek a postdoctoral in that land of opportunity, namely United States of America. The guide is happy, since he feels here is one more of his contributions to the pool of scientific knowledge, and also because one more research publication is now under his belt. The referee of the paper is happy, since the theory or model fits the experiment; surely if there is a fit, both the theory and the experiment must be right! He does not have to stretch himself. The editor is happy too, since he is not publishing a paper, which is likely to raise controversies. So this is the happy zone, a comfort zone!
