science people empowerment
People like it when they understand something that they previously thought they couldn't understand. It's a sense of empowerment.
believe religion facts
Facts are true whether or not you believe them.
flying religion facts
UFO (Unidentified Flying Object)sightings are not higher among amateur astronomers than they are in the general public. In fact, they're lower. You say, why is that so? Well, because we know what the hell we're looking at!
real fall fiction-stories
While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me. To fall into a black hole, that is more amazing than anything I've ever read in a science-fiction story.
chicks
What's up with chicks and science?
technology engineering vines
Companies want to innovate. Companies that don't innovate wither on the vine. The connection between STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and the financial stability of a nation is what needs to established.
believe religion atheism
Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them.
uplifting perspective people
I want people to see that the cosmic perspective is simultaneously honest about the universe we live in and uplifting, when we realize how far we have come and how wonderful is this world of ours.
writing people pluto
Why can't Pluto be a planet? Some people like Pluto. And if it doesn't exist then they don't have a favorite planet. Right? Please write back but not in cursive because I can't read cursive.
school enlightenment age
The limits on your enlightenment come not from the age you stopped going to school but from the age you stopped being curious.
fun dirty parent
Your parents don't like it because it gets the pots and pans dirty and because it's noisy, but for you it's fun and you're doing experiments. ... Just tell your parents that they're experiments and you want to become a scientist, and they won't stop you from doing anything you want.
thinking role-models looks
I think on some level, role models are overrated If you require a role model who looks just like you to be something you wanna be and you can't find one, is that a reason to not be what you wanna be? No!
helping-others people boots
We live in a world where not everyone has the urge to help others... It is OK to encourage others to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but if you do, just remember that some people have no boots.
talking priorities challenges
We're talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe.
