Science changes the world, sometimes the world changes the science, we are overdue
Dr. Monica Anderson talks about reductionism vs holism in science. She also suggests that artificial intelligence failed because intelligence is too holistic and by its nature it always attracted the hardcore reductionists. One of my favorite quote from this talk is “Science changes the world, sometimes the world changes the science, we are overdue”, which is significant in each and every sense. Check out the whole lecture it is worthwhile.

Very Interesting video…I really surprised to find that how science is viewed by any individual. I have a question What does Science Means to you ?
For me Science is part of everyday life and it means understanding the “holistic truth” of everything- origin of everything , cause of everything – and the truth behind the everything. When I say “holistic truth” it means I am ready to accept any plausible scientific explanation which is built on least assumptions, other versions of truth may be correct but there are not definitely correct. As our knowledge about the science increase there will be less and less assumptions and guesses, science will be more accurate and more broader in terms of coverage.

How do you teach a fact-heavy subject like science with great literature? First,science is not fact-heavy, or, at least it ought not to be. British educatory, Charlotte Mason called science the study of “the great scheme of the unity of life”. Abstract concepts become easy to picture and understand when they are experienced in context. A picture-packed, glitzy book filled with facts cannot teach “the great scheme of unity of life” but literature and hands-on experimentation can.
