第三天的总结作业
This article gave me a brief introduction of the history of science. Thanks to the middle school education, I understood most of the information the author was talking about. What is the science? Science is to discover how the Universe works that goes back to the earliest civilizations. If you want to do science as better as possible, these three steps must be included. First, I should make observations, which means it really exists, it is nothing fancy. Then you should form a theory to explain why it exists like that. The last and also most important step is that you shold do some experiments to convince people that this theory is valid. Doing science is sometimes boring, because you may achieve nothing new for several years or decades. But if you keep doing, you can gain something, at least set the foundation for the successors. Facts proved that many of the findings are based on previous work. Today, science focuses more on black hole and human genome project, etc.
