We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy, which is one of billions of other galaxies, which make up a universe, which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.
-Carl Sagan
Face it: Science is cool. Whether it's hurricanes or tornadoes, deep sea hydrothermal vents or tsunamis, solar eclipses or the search for life on other planets, artificial intelligence or genetic engineering, insect-eating plants or lizards that shoot blood out of their eyes (true! Google it and see.), there is something for everybody when you study science.
"Happy is he who gets to know the reasons for things!"
- Virgil (70 - 19 BC) Roman poet  
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
