The Fear Of Science

Fear of science living in today's world is the product of science. Science gives us social color TV, aspirin bottle and polyester shirt. Therefore, science has greatly promoted our society, but our society is still afraid of the influence of science. This fear of science goes back to the 19th century, and scientists have to keep secrets in scientific experiments. Science had a miracle in the 19th century, but many people were concerned about science and its influence due to uncertainty of science.

In my experience, the fear of spiritual science arises from the fear of reducingism, people are worried that science needs to break your faith and lose meaning in life. Scientists break the truth by "observing the correct world" by "proving that they are wrong". Therefore, the fear of reducingism is effective and destroying a useful belief system at the individual and collective levels can be devastating. After all, why should we take action if there is no greater purpose?

Editor's Note: "Extreme Fear: Jeff Wise's Dangerous Science" (hereinafter "Scientific American" published by Macmillan's publication) issued by Palgrave Macmillan on December 8 is an excerpt. Extreme fear seeks the neural basis of this powerful and primitive emotion by associating people with the latest discovery example that acts under stress and is forced to present cognitive science. In the next paragraph of this chapter, it is around 8:30 PM. On the night of warm summer day in Tucson. Little Tom Boyle was sitting in the passenger seat of his pickup truck, and his wife, Elizabeth, was waiting for traffic from the mall where they ate dinner just. Camaro in front of them struck gasoline, rotated his wheels, and crashed into the boulevard with the shouting rubber. "Oh, my God," Elizabeth said. "Have you seen it?"

After all, all you have to do is to read through science and understand that there is nothing to worry about. Science is usually quite simple - in addition to horrible statistics - researchers often state what their studies mean in their conclusions. Scientists are not necessarily completely correct studies - but of course they are humans - they are usually quite intimate. None of these will make you an expert. When you walk through the aisle in the supermarket, you still need to choose a stunning array of healthy choices. But now, when you see the scream of the product, in addition to the suspicious allegation "I am fine!", There are all the basic tools necessary to surprise "This is not right!"
