The Sun is not an atom. According to the Etymology Online Dictionary, atom comes from the Greek, a-tomos, or “uncut” (a = “not” + tomos = “a cutting”).
Can the star at the center of our solar system be cut into smaller units? Sure can. The Sun is not elemental.
Likewise, “science” is not a singular entity. It consists of thousands upon thousands of individuals doing their work, millions upon millions of bits of information. At least.
And speaking of science, I invite you to check out the latest blog carnival dedicated to celebrating science-for-all: Scientia Pro Publica #38.
Cutting further, a huge part of science is biological life. How that life changes and develops from generation to generation is called evolution.
And, what do you know, the next edition of the Carnival of Evolution is going to be hosted on September 1st here, at 360 Degree Skeptic. If you have a post you’d like to contribute, please do. Otherwise, stay tuned for some hot science.
