With the advancements of science and technology, a huge industrial revolution took place in the world, through the concept of economic development. These activities started polluting the natural resources in a highly damaging way, resulting into a large increase in the entropy (disorder) in the biosphere and the society. Some examples [8] are given below to illustrate this:
become important when large scale extension is made in the long run. There is a need now to closely examine these "benefits of science" to the society in general and their links with the scientific truth.

LIMITATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY
DUE
TO CONSERVATIONS LAWS:
(a). Mixing of hydrocarbons like petrol and diesel with air and water, whichare otherwise distinctly separate, (b). Spread of industrial chemicals and other pollutants in rivers and ponds, O. Flow of millionsoftons of fertile soil in the sea every year, (d). Adulteration of food and medicines and many industrial products.(e). Spread of electromagnetic pollutions, surrounding us and in atmosphere due to very large increase in use of mobiles, internet and other electric gadgets.(1). Decrease in orderliness in music and increase in noise.(g). Mixing of roles of men and women.(h). Increase in corruption and black money and use of multiple credit cards, due to which unaccounted money is diverted from main economy to accounts which are not counted in GDP and so on.
In addition, we define conservation laws in physics which are foundation of all scientific measurements. Thus we have conservation laws for energy, linear momentum, angular momentum etc. Now all these conservation laws are defined for isolated closed systems, thus approximating the nature. Thus energy is defined as that variable of a closed isolated system which does not change over time. But in principle we can never have a totally closed isolated system. Similarly linear momentum is defined as that property of a closed isolated system which remain invariant with any spatial displacement and so on. Hence the mere definitions of conservation laws are not perfect because they first divide the world and then try to define it.. The interaction among these systems is then studied by considering the nature and magnitude of the interaction among them. However, in case of biological systems, these interactions are very important.
Creation of the so called non-biological ordered systems (say concrete jungles, industries, machines which do not carry any form of life) in the name of economic development has basically led to generation of hugeentropy in the biosphere. Such ordered systems can be called as “ Nonbiologicallyordered systems". Now to understand the root cause of these problems, one has to closely examine the basic laws of science and find out whether this type of analysis can provide better alternatives and new directions of development.

LIMITATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY AND ITS EXTENSION:
Any phenomenon is called scientific if it can be verified in a laboratory under given set of controlled conditions and is reproducible at any other point of time and place. This condition is called space-time invariance condition. In all scientific experiments, one measures a small set of parameters and then correlate them to get some relations, which then turn out to be rules and laws, which can be used for welfare of the public. Thus when high yielding varieties of wheat were introduced in the country then experiments were conducted in small plots under "controlled condition" by selecting those varieties and confirming the claims that they do give higher yields. These results were then recommended for large areas, which has happened in Punjab and other parts of the country. Now over years, this has ultimately resulted into degradation of the soil on a large scale and depletion of the ground water in Punjab. This has happened because while conducting the experiments (laboratory scale), such long term consequences are not looked upon. Means some parameters like extra use of water and fertilizer is not taken into account. These factors then
