10 Reasons to Love Science
By Neil deGrasse Tyson
Adapted by Nicole Toro
I really wish that Science would get more media coverage don’t you? We as the general human collective have made exponential leaps and bounds in all branches of Science and Exploration in just the last few decades alone! Check out this amazing compilation on why YOU should love Science and watch the video to see these awesome things in action.
10) Did you know that if you wring out a water saturated cloth in a zero gravity atmosphere, the water basically just hangs out around the cloth, just floating. Amazing.
9) There is a super awesome deep-sea fish with a see-through head. You can see the lenses of its EYES…THROUGH its head. With 95% of the Earth’s Oceans yet to be explored, what other crazy fish things are out there?
8) The Northern Lights in Finland. Everyone should just automatically have this wondrous sight on their bucket list from birth. I mean really, the colors! Watch the video to check out some footage, but let’s be honest, you should just go ahead and buy a plane ticket…you leave tomorrow.
7) Liquid Oxygen can set things on fire… in mid-air. What??
6) Felix Baumgartner decided to casually fall off the edge of space to Earth, breaks the sound barrier in the process, and lives to tell the tale. Who needs to jump off that old bridge down by the creek when you can jump off SPACE?
5) Ever thought about maybe possibly visiting some distant Stars someday? Check out the Sagan Series: The Frontier is Everywhere and learn everything you could ever want to know about anything with Carl Sagan.
4) Welp, apparently Scientists have created a Cheetah robot that can (and will) run faster than Jamaican runner, Usain Bolt (lol a runner named Bolt). Fascinating creation I think, until they take over the world!
3) Quantum Levitation is a thing. Super conductors, magnetic fields…future flying cars?!
2) Anamorphic Illusions: darn it eyes! I totally thought that Rubik’s Cube was REAL!!
1) We all want to know what the PURPOSE of the universe is don’t we? Well I do, and Science is there to answer that question along with countless others. Number one reason to LOVE Science, it asks and answers the questions that haven’t even been thought of yet. Wrap your mind around that one.
