Question: why do you explore the world

Hello! Good question, and I guess your asking ‘why am I scientist?’. I explore the world because improving our understanding of nature can help us live better lives. Figuring out how the universe and everything in it works helps us build better technologies, better homes, better hospitals faster internet…the list can go on. My studies are just one small part of a big understanding of how it all works. It’s also important to know where we came from, and where our planet came from. We’re the only living things on Earth than can ask and answer those big questions, so we should use our big brains as best we can 🙂
