Grind #81 :: Science, Imagination & Beauty

I don't remember the answers as well as I used to, but I've always been very adept at "why" questions. Nearly every school year, I'd have at least one teacher tell me I should be asking "how?" more often and "why?" a lot less. To which, I would predictably and sarcastically reply, "Why?". I often thrive on the aggravation of others. I read a lot of scientific journals and am consistently intrigued by the imagination and scope of researchers and scientists in their respective fields of study. We should all be a bit jealous and enthralled by these people who are mapping the blueprint for generation upon generation to come. With that in mind, for this edition of the Daily Grind, I've collected a dozen or so stories proving what nerds everywhere have been telling us for years, science is cool and fun and enviable and occasionally even beautiful.
