Don't you think that newspapers nowadays focus much less on Science articles and more on politics. Shouldn't the public be more educated about recent breakthroughs.

If Mathematics is supposed to describe nature perfectly then why do we sometimes get infinities as solutions. What does it mean ? Is it fine to just discard them or do we need to look deeper ?

How can we calculate the trajectory of non-spherical objects like a cube or an oblong football ? Is it even possible ?

I feel that teaching methods of Science today is too theoretical. There is not too much emphasis on practicals. And we are not told much about the scientific method ( the cornerstone of science ). Science in school has become too boring and dry I feel. Should the way of teaching be changed, what are your thoughts ? ( I have experience with the Indian Education system only as I live in India, but, I think the world prevails worldwide. Correct me if i'm wrong. )

In Hinduism there is this concept called Brahman ( not to confused with Braahman a Hindu priest), the all pervading truth ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman ). It sounds very similar to quantum mechanical concepts. Also, many physicsts like Schrodinger have said to have gotten inspiration from this concept. Thoughts on this ?

What exactly is the definition of a Science ? Is it a subject where we do experiments by he the Scientific Method or Something Else ?

When does an atom disintegrate into smaller ones and how can we predict the nature of radiation ( alpha, beta or gamma)

What is the exact difference between science and philosophy, aren't both a study of nature, and doesn't both of them attempt to explain nature ? So, why the distinction ? Please explain !

I've heard a lot about the properties of fullerenes, so could someone please brief me about them and tell me how they can be used to improve our daily lives. And, how come they have not been put to use already ?
