Scientists are eager to know ‘FACT’ what nobody knows, however, one most important thing to be the real scientist is having ‘Why’ for the fact. Science, the second name of philosophy, is a field of the reason, not only a phenomenon. Scientists must study about the reason why the fact is happened. Through those seeking of the reason, eventually they are moving forward to the ultimate questions of the life such as ‘What’, ‘How’ and ‘Why’ for the life.
What is the life?
How does it live?
Why does it live?
That is why the people distinguish science from medicine and engineering, and the reason they called us as a scientist other than medical doctor, engineer and/or technician. Furthermore, that is also why people give us degree for the doctor of philosophy, not doctor of specific field like biology, chemistry or physics.
There are many different fields of science, and I’m trying to be close to those questions through the biology. Now, I’m starting.
