Put a Little Science in Your Life

Brain Greene explains why sci­ence matters:

Sci­ence is a way of life. Sci­ence is a per­spec­tive. Sci­ence is the process that takes us from con­fu­sion to under­stand­ing in a man­ner that’s pre­cise, pre­dic­tive and reli­able — a trans­for­ma­tion, for those lucky enough to expe­ri­ence it, that is empow­er­ing and emo­tional. To be able to think through and grasp expla­na­tions — for every­thing from why the sky is blue to how life formed on earth — not because they are declared dogma but rather because they reveal pat­terns con­firmed by exper­i­ment and obser­va­tion, is one of the most pre­cious of human experiences.
