Acharya Prashant explains that science is fundamentally based on the philosophy of sensory perception and mental reasoning. It operates on the assumption that only what is visible or conceptualizable is real. This foundation is rooted in body-identification, where the body is seen as the primary truth. Consequently, science focuses on providing material comforts and extending the lifespan of the body. However, science itself starts with an unexamined belief that the material world is the ultimate reality, which is a form of superstition. While science has made great strides in objective reality, it remains limited by the very senses and mind it relies upon.
