In between Kyrie Irving's toned Planet as well as Isaac Newton's apple company sapling, technology continues to be a procedure

In between Kyrie Irving's toned is But physical reality does also matter. Science checks theories against the physical world. If our theories get the shape and age of the Earth wrong, then we have no idea why toasters and computers work. We manufacture lasers, transistors and GPS only because quantum mechanics and relativity theory have consistently held up in experiments. Evolution and genetics tell us why cigarettes cause cancer. It's only slight overstatement to say evolution cures cancer and Einstein invented GPS!



The best-kept secret? Scientists see science the opposite way from most non-scientists: not handing down facts from above but struggling to find answers. Our paleontologists really can justify identifying a new dinosaur from a fragment. Unlike "alternative facts," our folks have solid reasons.
Scientists -- like everybody -- are divided on religion, but most who believe think God intended us to make this world better. Science and democracy are of this world but that doesn't make them irrelevant. Truth is, science and democracy have the same roots -- philosophically and historically. Truth matters. Individual voices matter. A free market of ideas is necessary for progress. 


We have an apple tree on the Case Western Reserve University campus grown from a twig of the actual apple orchard Isaac Newton was looking at when he developed his theory of gravity 350 years ago.
We'd love for Mr. Irving to come see our tree and look at what we're doing. Decide for himself if we're deluded. We think we can find a great deal of common ground -- and not only because many of us are fans
