Abstraction and complexity are not signs that a given scientific direction is wrong, as some commentators have suggested, but are instead a tribute to the success of human ingenuity in meeting the increasingly complex challenges that nature presents. They can, however, make communica

5、tion more difficult. But many of the biggest challenges for science reporting arise because in areas of evolving research, scientists themselves often only partly understand the full implications of any particular advance or development. Since that dynamic applies to most of the scientific developme

C Ambiguous word choices are the source of some misunderstandings. Scientistsoften employ colloquial ter

7、minology, which they then assign a specificmeaning that is impossible to fathom without proper training. The term“relativity,” for example, is intrinsically misleading. Many interpret thetheory to mean that everything is relative and there are no absolutes.Yet although the measurements any observer

8、makes depend on hiscoordinates and reference frame, the physical phenomena he measureshave an invariant description that transcends that observers particularcoordinates. Einsteins theory of relativity is really about finding aninvariant description of physical phenomena. True, Einstein agreed withth

9、e idea that his theory would have been better named“Invariantentheorie.” But the term “relativity” was alreadyentrenched at the time for him to change.D “The uncertaintyprinciple” is another frequently abused term. It is sometimesinterpreted as a limitation on observers and their ability to makemeas

The first interpretation isperhaps more engaging from philosophical or political perspective. Itsjust not what the scien

Unlike most people, who use the word to describe a passingconjecture that they often regard as suspect, physicists have veryspecific ideas in mind when they talk about theories. For physicists,theories entail a definite physical framework embodie

14、astic 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. But not

15、all problems stem solely from poor word choices. Some stem from the intrinsically complex nature of much of modern science. Science sometimes transcends this limitation: remarkably, chemists were able to detail the precise chemical processes involved in the destruction of the ozone layer, making the

16、 evidence that chlorofluorocarbon gases (Freon, for example) were destroying the ozone layer indisputable. H 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 tor

17、tured months, Harvard was tortured by empty debates over the relative intrinsic scientific abilities of men adwomen. One of the more amusing aspects of the discussion was that those who believed in the differences and those who didt used the same evidence about gender-specific special ability. How c

18、ould that be? The answer is that the data shows no substantial effects. Social factors might account for these tiny differences, which in any case have an unclear connection to scientific ability. Not much of a headline when phrased that way, is it? Each type of science has its own source of complex

19、ity and potential for miscommunication. Yet there are steps we can take to improve public understanding in all cases. The first would be to inculcate greater understanding and acceptance of indirect scientific evidence. The information from an unmanned space mission is noels legitimate than the info

20、rmation from one in which people are on board. I This doest mean never questioning an interpretation, but it also doesmean equating indirect evidence with blind belief, as people sometimes suggest. Second, we might need different standards for evaluating science with urgent policy implications than

21、research with purely theoretical value. When scientists say they are not certain about their predictions, it doest necessarily mean theyvet found nothing substantial. It would be better if scientists were more open about the mathematical significance of their results and if the public didt treat mat

22、h as quite so scary; statistics and errors, which tell us the uncertainty in a measurement, give us the tools to evaluate new developments fairly. J But most important, people have to recognize that science can be complex. If we accept only simple stories, the description will necessarily be distort

23、ed. When advances are subtle or complicated, scientists should be willing to go the extra distance to give proper explanations and the public should be more patient about the truth. Even so, some difficulties are unavoidable. Most developments reflect work in progress, so the story is complex becaus

43、hood called Tamagotchi which is actually a handheld digital pet firstly created in Japan and soon became a hit among children all over the world. I remember it was when I was in the third grade of primary school, my deskmate brought a Tamagotchi to school and showed to me how cute her newly raised p

44、et was in that magical small egg-shaped box. I was amazed and intrigued right away cause back then we didnt have smart phones, Ipads or even computers were not so popular, that Tamagotchi seemed as the best toy all over the world to me and I would dream of having one. My deskmate allowed me to play

45、with her pets a couple of days and I was just so happy then. Though its a digital pet, it did act like a real pet. You need to feed it when its hungry, play with it when its sad and clean it up right away after its pooping, otherwise it would get sick. That was just so much fun that I determined to

46、buy one myself after returning it to my deskmate. After about 10 days not having any snacks, I finally owned a Tamagotchi. But pity was I soon got bored of it because operations were too simple and repetitive. Sometimes beeps made by my pet when it got hungry or unhappy were just annoying. Finally,
