Time to Unleash Our Science Geeks & Meet Our Science Heroes
Science, once known as our least favorite subject in school and better known as the observation of facts, impacts every facet of our lives. You already know that.
But with every scientific breakthrough impacting our daily lives, there are heroes behind those discoveries that have reshaped our understanding of how our world works. We were lucky to meet two of those champions of science last week, William Shatner and Bill Nye.
On the surface, those two don’t have much in common. For one, Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” taught an entire generation of children about all the small science miracles that happen at home and outside: Why fruits fall from trees, how a feather and rock can fall at the same speed, and why waves rise and fall in our oceans. Nye’s show is now 30 years old (!), and our only regrets are his timing to teach a new generation why Tide Pods aren’t delicious at all.
“Star Trek” and William Shatner’s Captain James T. Kirk were science for a different generation. Not much about the USS Enterprise has materialized in the real world yet, but it captivated generations into thinking about the universe and our place in it. Warp drive would be handy for our commute home, but we digress.
More than just science-fiction versus science-fact, both Shatner and Nye sparked the imaginations of generations of scientists who have changed our world. Like Arthur C. Clark wrote: “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them to the impossible.”
