THERE SHOULD NOT BE ONLY FANTASY IN THE SCIENTIFIC STORIES, OR SCIENCE JUST FOR TASTE. THERE SHOULD BE NEW, MODERN IDEAS OF SCIENCE, FACTUAL SCIENCE, THEORIES, ALSO A TOUCH OF BASIC SCIENCE. ALONG WITH THIS, SOME MODERN EXPERIMENTS, RULES, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN PRESENT AND NEAR FUTURE, SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN IT. IMPORTANCE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO BOTH – SCIENCE AND FICTION AS WELL, THUS, READERS SHOULD EXPERIENCE THE DOUBLE BONANZA.
DR. SANJAY DHOLE’S SCIENTIFIC STORIES FIT EXACTLY IN THE ABOVE STATED CRITERIA. HIS STORIES CROSS THE BOUNDRIES OF HARDCORE SCIENTIFIC STORIES, AS THEY SPREAD AWARENESS AND INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENCE AND MAKE READERS TO THINK ON IT, WISELY ! HIS STORIES ARE BASED ON VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC IDEAS. HIS “PARIVARTAN” STORY IS BASED ON THE ORIGIN OF CELLS AND “MOHIM FATTE” IS BASED ON ITS RESEARCH. “KOLISHTAK” IS BASED ON SPIDER FARMING. “AKALPIT” IS BASED ON THE HARMFUL EMISSIONS FROM THE RAYS. “SANKARIT” IS BASED ON EFFECTS OF PURPOSIVELY CHANGES IN THE GENES. “ASTITVA” DESCRIBES AN UNIMAGINABLE EXPERIMENT ON A HUMAN BEING. “UDHVASTA” IS BASED ON THE INFLAMMABLE CHARACTERISTIC OF FIRE, AND “AKHER TO PARATALA” IS BASED ON A CANVAS OF MEMORIES.“SOCKER” IS BASED ON FOOTBALL. “VICHARVAHAN” IS BASED ON THE PRODUCTION AND INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS THOUGHTS IN A HUMAN’S BRAIN. “DURGAMYA” IS BASED ON ‘TUNNELING EFFECT’ IN PHYSICS.
HE HANDLES VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC SUBJECTS IN AN EFFORTLESS MANNER AND NARRATES BOTH THE SIDES OF THE COIN , EXPLANING THE BOON AND THE CURSE PART OF SCIENCE. HIS STORIES MAKES US THINK ON A HIGHER LEVEL. HIS STORIES ARE SAID TO BE RATIONAL AND UNIQUE !!
विज्ञानकथेत विविधांगी विषय हाताळलेले असून, एखादं विज्ञान, प्रयोग किंवा त्यांचे निष्कर्ष मानवाच्या जेवढ्या भल्यासाठी वापरता येऊ शकतात; तेवढाच त्या विनाशालाही कारणीभूत ठरू शकतात. ‘परिवर्तन’ ही कथा मूळपेशींवर आधारलेली असून ‘मोहीम फत्ते’मध्ये त्यांच्या शोधावर आधारीत आहे. ‘कोळिष्टक’ ही कथा ‘स्पायडर फार्मिंग’ व त्यांच्या जनुकावर आधारलेली आहे. तर ‘अकल्पित ’ ही कथा किरणोत्सारीतून निर्माण होणाऱ्या समस्येवर आधारलेली आहे. ‘संकरित’ ही कथा जनुकांमध्ये हेतुपुरस्सर बदल घडवून आणल्यानंतरचे परिणाम दर्शविते तर ‘अस्तित्व’मध्ये वैद्यकशास्त्रात मानवावरील विधायक प्रयोग दाखविलेला आहे. ‘उद्ध्वस्त’ ही कथा पदार्थाच्या ‘दीपन’ या गुणधर्मावर असून, ‘अखेर तो परतला’ ही कथा स्मृतिपटलांवर आधारित आहे. ‘सॉकर’ ही कथा फुटबॉलच्या रोमांचक खेळावर विज्ञानाच्या दृष्टिकोनातून भाष्य केलेली आहे. ‘विचारवहन’ हे मानवी मेंदूतील प्रक्षेपित होणाऱ्या क्षीण लहरींवर आधारलेले आहे. शिवाय ‘दुर्गम्य’ ही कथा भौतिकशास्त्रातील ‘टॅनेलिंग इफेक्ट’वर आधारित आहे.
