SCIENCE!

Viewing the world through the scientific lens is a a great way to be unbiased towards anything you see in life. And I admit I am a bit biased towards this wok. It's very simple question everything. Observe, Theorize, Test, Deduce.        That is science in its core.

Science brings up powerful memories that are surprisingly  not scientific at all. My grandfather, a genius, was present at all of the family events. One Rosh Hashannah I brought a slinky to keep me entertained, adult conversation was and still is as exciting as dirty wash cloth. My grandfather, Walter, immediately asked to see my toy. Four hours later he was still examining that stupid thing. Ever the scientist he told at the end in of the night that my toy could never serve any practical purpose in a mechanical device.

This was hardly a life altering revelation to me but that moment was my first exposure to what a scientist does. A scientist takes a circumstance or phenomenon that they don't understand and learn from it, but mainly they take toys from children. A real scientist is intensely curious about the world. there is one major draw back though. Every weapon ever made needed science to back it up.

For example, nuclear energy helped to spawn the atom bomb. Was this science worth it? That is impossible to tell but the benefit of science is that they don't have to worry about that. They just worry about the pursuit of knowledge. Being a scientist and and intellectual are very similar in this regard. The biggest difference is that Science often deals with numbers more than theory.
