2. Science is beautiful in more ways than just visually.
The way every protein, cell, tissue, and organ work together to preserve the brain is mind blowing.

3. Ain't that the truth
One of my favorite stories concerns Newton and his discovery of the properties of light. He passed white light through a prism and discovered it broke down into the colors of the rainbow. People accused him of destroying the beauty of the rainbow by unweaving it. But we still have the rainbow's beauty and in learning about it we have discovered even more beauty.

5. People love to look at leaves changing color in autumn.
But the REAL beauty is why they do.
