Prof Anantanarayanan Raman spoke to students about how science works.

He said curiosity is an important starting point for discoveries.

Scientists then ask questions and observe what happens.

They use logic and evidence to test their ideas.

They also need to be willing to change their minds when new evidence appears.

Raman said this process helps turn curiosity into reliable knowledge.

He gave the lecture at SRM University-AP in Amaravati.

University leaders said such talks let students learn directly from experienced scholars.
