Critical Thinking Assignment #2

"Popular Science" in a nutshell is basically about outer space and the universe outside of earth. Many people think about what is space, what is really out there, is there life outside of earth. All of these questions we all ask everyday. The tv show "Cosmos" basically describes space and our reactions and emotions towards the outside universe. The tone of this show is very optimistic because it makes the viewer feel as if they want to know more about the universe. This show definitely argues a science point of view because it explains and gets right into every detail of the universe and outer world. The tv show does in a way offer a different view on science, in the way that they explain the different theories and founders and really explain things from a different perspective. Perfect example is like Giordano Bruno, I mean he discovered that the earth was not in the center of the universe. Even though many criticized him, and he read books which were banned from his church he still discovered something and his story isn't told as much. Watching this show "Cosmos" has really opened my eyes and made me even feel I should get into learning more about our world and universe. This show I can definitely  say has made me see that there is more behind every story from which we have known since childhood. I mean not having seen this show I would have never known about Bruno and what he has done.
