It is worth trying to understand science, because its relevance and applicability are universal

I should teach the world that it is worth trying to understand science, because its relevance and applicability are universal. One must be aware of the fundamental requirements that science imposes.

The laws and relationships in science cannot be opposed, but they can be utilised, in innumerable creative ways. Science provides us with a fascinating picture of all things, large or small, and with concepts that require imagination. Science also reminds us of the incompleteness of our knowledge, but with the realisation that much remains, for worthwhile exploration.

More specifically, I would like many more people not to be scared of equations, but to become aware of the meaning, value and usefulness of equations. This would greatly ease the problem of scientific communication.
