Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!

I was going to read a disclaimer for
the guest tonight,
but I don’t know about this,
so I’m going to make one up on
the spot right now.
Humpty Dumpty sat on the science.
Don’t you wish that it was an appliance?
No, you don’t.
You just like that it’s science.
Technology is the application of science,
and science is the act of questioning
everything in a very well-controlled manner.
I don’t know.
It’s a process.
It’s a method.
Science is not a collection of facts.
If you sit on it,
can you break it?
Maybe we’ll talk about that and more
tonight on This Week in Science.
