Is Science a Coherent Discussion To the Lay Person

Is the thought of Science a scary premise mixed with some progress and a whole lot regret, like oh that science, what will they think of next, or some disgusting human made virulent virus that only the rich have the antidote to block, is it only this, who the heck knows kind of guess. The important thing to understand about science in the exploratory sense is that it requires the discipline of caring to effectively focus ones mind completely, and yes, stuff goes bad, you know chemicals, molecules, bacteria, stars, time, Xrays, vacuums... You name it, the list is long. It's a lot of hard work and sweat mixed with some real concrete thinking, man it is a total brain sweat and fun for those inclined. Science is crazy man, it's common that people want to know stuff, but it is not for the weak minded, to say the least. John, the air you breath is mixed with water, oxygen, nitrogen, CO2 and a whole host of other trace compounds. That's why we study trees, all plants really, even the tubers. I like the potato, not just because of my Irish background, it is somewhat climateric once it is pulled from its root - well actually its not a root, it's a tuber or stolon, sort of like a horizontal branch. The potato grows off of shoots that grow horizontally, best in well drained loose soil. That's science, because there are a lot of potato. They are most nutritious when baked whole alone by themselves, much less nutritious when cut into elongated strips and deep fried, or whole re-baked with gobs of cheese and bacon and sour cream and chive which adds several calories you may not be able to afford regarding your own fat intake that is. A deeper knowledge of the best way to grow potato and how to cook the potato has made a lot of money, especially for large corporately owned farming conglomerates, not to mention fast food chains as I am quite certain every lay person knows. But enough about potato, when every poet knows that, April is the cruellist month, mixing lilacs out of dead land etc... And that science is a field of knowledge that extends upon what is or was beauty to deconstruct in a sense of what was lost or possibly could be found if one knew or ever could know what true beauty truly meant --- but apparently they do not. science should be coherent to the lay person, just like art or obligation to love if one was to seek merit it would be best to share however carefully disclosed such as in a poem
