20．Around 200years ago，a well-known English poet called John Keats attacked science．He said that British scientist Isaac Newton had unweaved（拆解） the rainbow．Newton explained how light forms a rainbow．For Keats，this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful．This is just one example of many．We often hear people talk of problems with science，or say that it is boring．Some people，like Keats，also say that science takes away the beauty of the world．But is this fair？
First of all，science helps us get things done．We need to study science to produce certain kinds of people．After all，where would we be without engineers and doctors？When you are studying science in school，remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge，or save a life．Next time you use your phone to send a message，remember that this is possible thanks to science．When Keats criticized（批判） Newton，the very paper he wrote on was created through science．
Beyond helping society and getting things done，science also makes us think in a certain way．It asks us to believe things only through evidence．It teaches us never to trust our assumptions（假设）．It teaches us that sometimes，the truth is stranger than fiction．
When you study science，remember what it means．Science has changed the world，and it can change you too．Humans once looked up at rainbows，and said that they were beautiful．Science explained them，and they were no longer recondite to us．
But discovery never stops．Through science，we can find new rainbows：mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves．
