From The Big Bang To This Commentary
Briefly

Launched nearly nine years ago, 13.7: Cosmos & Culture was inspired by discussions around the perception of science as detached from real-world culture. Founders aimed to create a commentary platform that presents science in a broader, more human-centered context. They sought to highlight the emotional and dramatic elements of scientific inquiry, addressing various complex societal issues and promoting an understanding of science as deeply intertwined with culture and life. The commentary ultimately showcases science as a passionate exploration of existence, challenging traditional narratives of cold, factual reporting.
At its core, 13.7: Cosmos & Culture aims to evoke the passion and drama behind scientific inquiry while emphasizing its relevance to broader cultural discussions.
Science is often misperceived as disengaged and cold, failing to recognize its intertwining with human culture, emotions, and societal issues impacting our lives.
The inception of this commentary was rooted in a need to redefine how science is presented, bridging the gap between hard data and human experience.
Through 13.7, we aspire to show that science is not just about facts but a profound exploration of our existence and its mysteries.
