Content Review

Communication in Science

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning, “science” also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist.

Science plays an increasingly significant role in people’s life, making the faithful communication of scientific developments more important than ever .Yet such communication is fraught with challenges that easily distort discussions, leading to unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding.

Some problems stem from the current research and difficulty of finding faithful terminology .Abstraction and complexity are not signs that scientific direction is wrong, as some commentators have suggested, but a tribute to the success of human ingenuity in meeting challenges .They can make communication more difficult .Many of biggest challenges arise because in areas of evolving research, scientists only partly understand the full implications of particular advance or development.

Ambiguous word choices are source of some misunderstandings. Scientists often employ colloquial terminology which they assign a specific meaning that is impossible to fathom .Yet although measurements any observer makes depend on his coordinates and reference frame , the physical phenomena he measures have an invariant description that transcends that observer’s particular coordinates .Einstein’s theory of relativity is really about finding an invariant description of physical phenomena .

The” uncertainty principle” is another frequently abused term. It is sometimes interpreted as a limitation on observers and their ability to make measurements.

But it is not about intrinsic limitations on any one particular measurements; it is about inability to precisely measure particular pairs of quantities simultaneously? The first interpretation is perhaps more engaging from philosophical or political perspective. It’s just not what science is about.

Even the word “theory” can be a problem. Unlike most people, who use the word to describe a passing conjecture that they often regard as suspect, physicists have very specific ideas in mind when they talk about theories.

“Global warming” is another example of problematic terminology. Climatologists predict more drastic fluctuations in temperature and rainfall-not necessarily that every place will be warmer. The name sometimes subverts the debate, since it lets people argue that their winter was worse, so how could there be global warming? Clearly “Global climate change” would have been a better name.

A better understanding of the mathematical significance of results and less insistence on a simple story would help to clarify many scientific discussions. For several months, Harvard was tortured by empty debates over the relative intrinsic scientific abilities of men and women.

This doesn’t mean never questioning an interpretation, but it also doesn't mean equating indirect evidence with blind belief, as people sometimes suggest.

I’d like to talk about our Mother River in China--The yellow river. Originating in Western China, the yellow river, at an estimated length of more than 5000 km, flows through several areas and empties into the Bohai sea near Shandong province. Thus its drainage area covers nearly half of China. The yellow river, by and large, is notable for carrying a large amount of silt every year into the sea.

Being the sixth longest river in the world, the yellow river enjoys the fame of nurturing generations of Chinese people. However, it has been responsible for several floods and some have even been catastrophic. So in modern time, people dare not to make light of its severity and sophisticated dams are then built. Nowadays, the yellow river is easier to be tamed.
