'Sci-fi' and 'sci-non-fi' - welcome

By Galileo

If there is progress, which we all are a part of , then there has to be views about that progress. That progress in today's world, just as anytime else, has everything to do with science and technology.
Look at that little cellphone in your hand and wonder how you are able to speak to someone, somewhere else - that too absolutely unwired!
Sigh in relief over Sunita Williams and her accompanying crew making it back to earth safely steering the Atlantis to land. And wonder how they changed plans from the original landing in rain-lashing Florida to Edwards Air Force Base on the West coast where clear blue skies finally allowed NASA's ground staff to spot the familiar Atlantis making it back.
How and Why?
Our lives are packed with science and technology elements. Right from the word 'go'.
Unfortunately, there is wide scale assumption among those who may be interested in scientific topics but are inhibited by stronger influences about science being all mumbo-jumbo, something which flies over the head, so to say.
Believe me, science only tickles you for more science. Science thrills when it is broken down to simpler levels.
Therefore the stress on popular science where even a layman can partake the knowledge it offers.
Therefore, this attempt to provide a platform for exchanges, comments and contributions on science, technology, environment and everything that it touches. The impact it makes on lives.
The attempt is to bring you the most thrilling of science topics, analysed and all.
So here's to happy exchanges, comments and views....towards a better result.

Don't know whether progress has everything to do with S&T but looking forward to your posts. One needs more popular science writing.
