Some Things Everyone Should Know About Science

(Source: list25)

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.
