Why do you love or hate science so much?

Question

What brought out your passion for science? Did it suddenly take place in a day, was it a certaint moment, did it evolve in you overtime? Why do you love or hate science so much, and do you think you're good at it?

nkmy my opinion is totaly the oposite of yours. I love science more then anything in the world, it's a great wonder.

Answer 1

there are many aspects of science that i truly enjoy. i feel that science is a gateway to a better understanding of our surrounding and an unraveling device for all the complexities this world has to offer!

Answer 2

I've been fascinated by science for as long as I can remember so it has only evolved over time.

I have learned that truth is stranger and so much bigger than fiction. I love science because some puzzles will never be solved. Often we find that we've been asking the wrong questions and using the wrong rulers or tools. Sometimes we need a new perspective.

And of course, the process of discovery never ends! For example, mapping the human genome has given some knowledge of genes, but merely the presence of genes doesn't explain why the genes trigger and express in some individuals and not in others. So here come regulatory genes, tandem repeats, epigenetics and how environment and other genes in our make up trigger the cascade that builds to a problem or any other expression.

Am I good at it? I think it's an ongoing process to adapt and learn, to not jump to conclusions too rapidly (as most medical science has done). As I see it, it is a journey, no one has all the answers or knows all the right questions. The path to arrival at the destination keeps changing -- so the quality of being 'good' is relative to depth of understanding and ability to regroup.

One has to look at all the evidence, not just the answers that support ones pet theories. And we all have our failings. I'm a work in progress. :)

Answer 3

The greatest wonder in the world is the Human But it was to be taken in the negative sense if he goes towards the science bcoz science the worst thing in the world that have only the ill effect on anything on which it used Ex bombing of hiroshima and Nagasaki and even The Great US ( United States Of America is the evil which was founded by science)

Answer 4

funnily enough my love/appreciation for science came about in an experience I'd almost describe as religious(it was like finding god) that came about from a low point in my life when i had abused drugs and i was suicidally depressed.i had a psychotic episode, in which i was pondering all the mysteries of the universe, trying to work them out with mathematics and diagrams,(having no prior knowledge of science,apart from a basic understanding of electricity) i thought i was a genius, i was a nutter(but i eventually sought help for myself, I'm OK now) i found my salvation in books, non-fiction scientific books(the first was ' a brief history of time ' by Stephen hawking), that described all the things that had kept my mind pre occupied and unable to focus on everyday life.

i think the beauty of science is the way it describes the world we see and experience through our senses, the world that can be measured and stands up to vigorous experiment.
in contrast , i think the beauty of religion/spirituality( collectively, no one doctrine in particular) is the way it teaches love and understanding and tries to describe things that can't always be observed by our objective senses

Answer 5

There is no question of loving and hating intensely. Science allows us to examine things systematically and then conclude from that.
