Science is like a growing slime mold, says Lawrence Krauss. The world of science "explore interesting ideas in a sort of playful fashion," he adds. Scientists are always looking for ways to explain the data that they've collected and why it came out this way. Science isn't a thing but rather an expression of how we think about things such as tendrils being sent out into space by scientists who have been doing research on slime molds.
