Our First Steps Towards Better Understanding of Science

“Test Ideas by Experimentation and Observation, Build on those ideas that pass the test, Reject the notions that fail. Follow the evidence wherever it leads And QUESTION EVERYTHING, even the facts that are widely accepted.”

Ibn al-Haytham

11th Century Astronomer, Physicist and Author of Book Of Optics.

Welcome to our first ever post in the Science department, My Name is @BabaBhayanak, I’m an Computer Science Engineer by profession and a STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] follower since childhood.

Why Science & Why Now?

If anything the past couple of days have taught us, Is that whatever you believe in, Spirituality, Religion, Political vested interests, etc, In the times of epidemic (April 11-2020, COVID-19 is on the rise), Only science is that body which keeps its doors open for general public. While this doesn’t mean I want to make you a unbeliever, But My mission here is to :

• Encourage Young People to Science.
• Spread the latest inventions and discoveries.
• Get the speculations Peer reviewed.
• Find and Spread the Facts.

What lies ahead in our journey ?

We shall zoom over the facts, The truth as discovered by the scientists before us. We will also see what made them so special that they could see the things in a way that we wish to see.
No Topic shall be off-topic as long as it is related to S.T.E.M, Including Cosmology, Physics, Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. Readers are appreciated to join in on the conversation, Fellow Scientist and Science scholars are invited to Review and Argue over the posts, As we know that each person has a different perspective, And Information always gets more and more Refined when its argued upon.
