A failed attempt. Does not explore beyond the canonical, high-schoolish definitions of science.

There is science, which is based upon fact and then there is non-science which is based upon fiction and possibility. Philosophers love arguing about non-science, but it is all fiction. (There are also abstract systems such as mathematics, but they are entirely abstract and not relevant to this thread).

I think its a good attempt. Both science and non science goes in hand . We are now been able to witness so many technological changes in our lives but this was not always there. There was a time non science ardent observers were leading and guiding the human race.we have good observers in our society and this from all classes.for example... the idea of water means possibility of lives...because on planet earth we human we need water , oxygen , foods to survive. This applies to us , human. But this may not necessarily apply to other species on other planets.while we human we have constructed our house on the surface of the earth because we are human. On other planets the other species due to high temperatures or drastically low temperature could be living under the ground. Who knows?
