/sci/ - Science & Math

Nice one, /sci/. Right on the ball. This thread may seem like bickering at first, but in reality you nailed the point. Which is how to bring science to the masses.

Yes, it's a huge challenge, but not impossible, as some elitists here will say (hurr durr most people aren't smart enough to understand science, unlike us, the glorious geniuses!).

When I say huge challenge, I mean all the points that were raised in the thread so far are valid. How to introduce the average Joe to science, but in a way he doesn't get bored? On the other hand, how to stop him from hopping on the Kaku train? Or live by half-assed explanations or taking thought experiments as facts and arguments...?

Again, doable but not necessarily impossible. I'm glad the wheels are in motion, one way or another. As long as it pulls a few people away from reality shows, it's a success.

My bigger concern about science atm is dimwits browsing the web all day long and exclaiming I F*ING LOVE SCIENCE when they see something like gif related, before returning to their dull lives.
