Science is significant for all. It’s responsible for
almost everything that we know about our world on a physical level. It
is important to understand, however, that science is not a book full of
facts. It is a process by which we figure things out about the world.
Science is concerned with things that we can test and observe. Some of
the essential stuff one should be aware of about science is mentioned in
this article:

Science Changes
Not everything you grew up thinking as “true” will be true when you die.
This is a good thing. It means that we are discovering more about the
universe (and about everything else for that matter). |

Natural does not equal healthy
Potassium cyanide is natural, but it is definitely not healthy. |
|
Bacteria are everywhere
In fact, if every cell in your body could vote, bacteria would have a
90% majority. By cell count, there are more bacteria cells inside of you
than human cells. |
|
You use 100 percent of your brain
You just don’t use all of it at the same time. |
|
Your Mobile phone won't kill you
Yes, it does emit radiation, but so do you. In fact, you emit more
radiation than your cell phone.
|
|
Science is a process
It is not a collection of facts. This goes along with the idea that
scientific knowledge changes over time.

DNA
All life on Earth encodes the main information about itself and passes
that information down through DNA.
|
|
Memory
Our memories are hopelessly inaccurate. In fact, in light of recent
findings, there are movements aimed at reducing the court system’s
reliance on eyewitness testimony. The fact is, you are not really
remembering the event at all…you’re only remembering the last time you
remembered it. And every time your brain imagines something, it either
adds to it, or takes away. |

GMOs
Almost all the food you eat (if not all of it) has been genetically
modified in some way. In fact, millions of people would have died in the
last several decades were it not for GMOs. |
