The commentary launched named 13.7: Cosmos & Culture aimed to bridge the gap between science and culture. It emerged from a conversation addressing how science is often perceived as disconnected from societal issues. Recognizing this disconnect, creators aimed to establish a platform that expresses the emotional and social relevance of science. The commentary seeks to showcase science as not just cold fact but as a passionate pursuit reflecting humanity's engagement with the unknown, addressing various profound topics including the universe's origin and humanity's existential questions.
We realized then and there that science needed a new voice, different from the usual straightforward reporting already handled by newspapers, magazines, and radio and TV stations.
We wanted to create something new, a platform that would place science in a broader context, as an expression of our very human need to make sense of the world and our place in it.
We wanted to scream to the world that science has a soul, that it doesn't emerge from a value-free vacuum as the sober product of uncaring calculating intellects.
We wanted to present the passion, the drama, the social and intellectual relevance of science as one of the deepest expressions of our engagement with the mysterious, the unknown aspects of reality.
