I have got a lot of interesting scientific knowledge from the books of National Geographic Reading Expeditions, some of which are about life, physics After reading the books, I have been considering a question: What if we lived without science?

Great changes have taken place in the world with the help of science It is hard to imagine how our forefathers could do without so many conveniences that modern science brings about But the majority of people didn’t even have sufficient food, let along their privilege to be educated

From the discovery of the gravity to the first step on the moon, we human beings have experienced a long process of developing science New organisms are already being engineered, and new genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmful chemicals and so on In the future, changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself It is the force of the competition, we human beings’ inquiring mind and initiative that bring about the non-stopped development of science

At present, we are in two minds about science And we are showing our interests into some scientific expeditions, such as the astronomy, the alien civilization, etc Some people thus far are still very superstitious, and they would even believe in superstitions rather than believe in science” This has reminded me of Professor Alan G In his lecture at Peking University this year, he put forward that science is people Evidently, every one of us does need science, or we can’t live without iteasyzw One aspect relies on what is taught in schools However, the final goal of learning science is not to pass examinations or to get a higher score; instead, we should try to make full use of it to change our world and life Who knows

In addition, science is always changing at a fast rate, and who we learn at school isn’t that sufficient to last a lifetime Moreover, the mass media can also popularize basic science to the public, because only in this way will more people realize what on earth science is But for the rest of us, a qualitative grasp of scientific concepts is sufficient, and this can be conveyed by words and diagrams, without the use of equations”, said Stephen Hawking

For the development of science, are you ready?
