Science thrives on data and rigor, but it is the poetic wonder—the starry night’s mystery, the dream of distant worlds—that ignites curiosity, inspires new generations, and secures funding. Without that shared awe, astronomy risks becoming just another technical field, disconnected from humanity’s deepest questions about our place in the cosmos.Romantic imagination doesn’t replace evidence; it sustains the passion that drives discovery. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-we-need-a-poetic-vision-of-the-universe/ https://www.nasa.gov/specials/60counting/why.html

Black holes captivate us because they are the universe's most extreme objects—where gravity becomes so intense that not even light can escape, time slows to a halt, and the laws of physics as we know them break down.They challenge our deepest understanding of reality, connect quantum mechanics with general relativity, and serve as natural laboratories for testing the limits of science. From their mysterious birth in dying stars to their role in shaping galaxies, black holes embody the awe-inspiring frontier between the known and the unknowable.They remind us how much mystery still remains in the cosmos.Related websites: https://www.nasa.gov/black-holes https://www.eso.org/public/science/black-holes/

Yes, preventive medicine is more important than curative medicine. As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Preventive approaches—such as vaccinations, screenings, healthy lifestyles, and early interventions—reduce disease incidence, save lives, lower healthcare costs, and ease system burdens. Chronic diseases cause most deaths and expenses, yet many are preventable. While treatment is essential for existing conditions, prioritizing prevention yields greater long-term health benefits and efficiency. https://www.reanfoundation.org/importance-of-preventive-medicine/
