“Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back." ********************************************* "When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?" Bill Nye "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." ************************************************* "When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity." ************************************************* "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein "Where there is no vision, there is no hope." ************************************************ "Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses." ************************************************* "Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible." George Washington Carver What do all these dudes have in common, besides being especially handsome and witty... SCIENCE! They all know that science is where it's at, they know that science is all around us, all the time. From the second you wake up, until the time your head hits the pillow at night, science is all up in your face. Your alarm clock, science made that. The weather forecast you listen to, in the morning, to decide whether to go fishing or to work... yep, science. The pavement you travel on, you guessed it, SCIENCE! Without science, we'd be nowhere, literally, we'd be living in huts on the side of mountains eating peanut butter sandwiches... Wait, nope, scratch that, there's science in hut building and peanut butter sandwich making too. Did you know there's so much science in a tiny little peanut that if there were one more ounce of science in there, it would be so large that even a giant couldn't lift it... Ok, maybe I'm hyperbolizing just a smidge... Ok, I'm lying, but science doesn't lie. Seriously, peanuts really are nature's tiny miracle. Look at all the good stuff packed in one tiny, little peanut... Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Potassium, fiber and even Niacin, which is super important for good skin health. I don't know about you, but I'm kind of fond of my skin and if I can keep it happy just by eating a few peanuts, by all means, I'm gonna do it, because there's nothing worse than having angry skin on your hands. (see what I did there?) That's not just my opinion, that's a fact and that's exactly why science works... FACTS! Science is made up of facts, not a bunch of people guessing at what might be the answer or maybe could be right, not a few smart guys throwing darts at a board, not a bunch of smart guys reading tea leaves or some other nonsense. NO, Science is nothing but a bunch of facts and you really can't argue with facts, now can you?! So do your mind, body and spirit a favor and throw a little bit of science in your mouth.
