Why?</p> \n   <p>It\u2019s about making strange, mysterious, and complicated things become things we understand. There\u2019s still lots more that we don\u2019t understand about our world and the whole universe, but that\u2019s where scientists come in. They are always asking questions and then finding the answers. So science isn\u2019t really strange at all!
