Science is discovery

  Science is discovery. Science is fun. Science is understanding what makes a clock tick and what makes a cat purr, what makes the Sun rise and what makes the Moon look so large on the horizon…

  The Poetry of Reality
  Science is the best tool ever devised
  For understanding how the world works.
  
  Science is a very human form of knowledge
  We are always at the brink of the known.
  
  Science is a collaborative enterprise
  Spanning the generations.
  We remember those who prepared the way
  Seeing for them also.
  
  If you’re scientifically literate,
  The world looks very different to you
  And that understanding empowers you.
  
  There’s real poetry in the real world.
  Science is the poetry of reality.
  
  We can do science,
  And with it, we can improve our lives.
  
  The story of humans is the story of ideas
  That shine light into dark corners.
  
  Scientists love mysteries,
  They love not knowing.
  
  I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things.
  I think it’s much more interesting.
  
  There’s a larger universal reality
  of which we are all a part.
  
  The further we probe into the universe,
  The more remarkable are the discoveries we make.
  
  The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
  Is a story that’s filled with insights.
  
  From our lonely point in the cosmos,
  We have through the power of thought
  Been able to peer back to a brief moment
  After the beginning of the universe.
  
  I think that science changes the way your mind works,
  To think a little more deeply about things.
  
  Science replaces private prejudice
  With publicly verifiable evidence.
