… is basically seeking scientific answers!

Why is the sky blue?

Why is the grass green?

Why do humans lie?

Why is it getting warmer?

Research is when curious minds try to figure out how Nature does what she does

Science is open to experimental test

Science is objective in its approach and does not go by wisdom but only by independently verifiable facts
