Explaining science

is not an easy task

It is known who science has studied it and who tries to understand it. Many concepts are abstract, others require bases that are not for everyone and the mechanisms that allow us to reach a scientific conclusion may require a commitment and an application that cost effort and time.

Understanding science, research and studies, however, is a very gratifying exercise: it opens the mind, intrigues and above all makes the main phenomena that regulate our life more evident.

I thought it might be useful to make some processes understandable that allow a theory or a hypothesis to become "scientific" or not, to make "practical" a process that can be long and complicated is useful to everyone, even to me that with science I have to deal every day.

I had many doubts writing this article, I know it will be a bit 'indigestible, long-winded and probably less exciting than others, but understanding certain steps is necessary to take care of the other larger ones.

Deepening any news you are interested in is important, especially those on health is fundamental, but how to deepen a scientific or medical news if you do not have the slightest knowledge of what you are analyzing?
