Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask this question in the "Live Science News Discussions" forum, but for some unknown reason it says that I have insufficient privileges to post threads there. So I'll ask it here, and if someone can move my post to that forum it will be great.
So...
Don't get me wrong, I know that science is very important and that it helps us a lot in our life, but my question is how Scientific Knowledge can help to the average man who is not a scientist? For example a simple worker in a factory, or a cashier in the supermarket, why should they learn biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, cosmology and other scientific fields? What practical use do they have with this knowledge at home? Or at work? Why do they need it?
(I'm talking about popular science level knowledge)
