In every great piece of art, it is the complexities that give it depth. Sitting underneath a starry sky, every human is awestruck by the sheer beauty of the universe. However, a scientist sees these freckles of light and knows what lies behind them, the reactions that drive them, can determine what planets surround them, and thus sees much more than suspended lights; they see textbooks, equations, and the complexity that make existence brilliant.
Every Science course I have taken has illuminated a new aspect of the universe that I was once blind to. In AP Biology, I became aware of the beauties and intricacy of life and how it began. Just the fact that helicase is unwinding DNA in my body as I sit to write this, and billions of charges are firing across your neurons as you read this is astounding. In AP Physics, I learned the laws that govern the universe. Just as the rules that govern sonnets make them special, knowing the principles of the cosmos, and being able to see occurrences that align to those principles makes the world that much more extraordinary. Like suddenly switching to color from black and white, I am constantly surprised by everything I wasn’t aware of.
As soon as the world is seen in this new light, it is impossible to be content with ignorance. Thus humanity constantly searches to know, to understand, and to unravel the intricacies that are woven in between what is, what was, and what is to be, making the universe more beautiful every day.
