I asked someone who ought to know a simple question of science. The answer he gave, “We really don’t know, but as for me, it’s this way.” So I asked another who ought to know, an important question of science. The answer she gave, “We really don’t know, but as for me, it’s this way.” It’s a mystery: How the world was formed, The twinkling of stars, Why the rain comes down. When a baby breathes, How the climates change, Why the plates move on, Does the wind blow free? So I asked an expert who ought to know, a serious question of science. The answer received, “We really don’t know, but as for me, it’s this way.”
