    This is a popular science documentary full of humanistic atmosphere. Science is not just formulas and definitions. The true power of science lies in the scientific spirit of questioning authority, distrusting people's words, thinking independently, and following evidence. Science is the religion of the new era of human civilization. Science admits its own ignorance and admits that we don't know or can't explain the answers to all questions, while traditional religions are panicked and unconvincing in the face of doubts and challenges.
