I sympathise with you Renato. Apart from people having different
perceptions about hard science, there is another category of people
that barely know what any science is, let alone the hard variety.
I was conducting a public viewing night a few years ago, and got an amazing variety of questions. Two that stand out vividly in my memory
are "is it true that the earth goes round the sun, and if so, that's amazing?" The other one was actually an opinion rather than a question.
"I can't believe that the earth spins, surely we would feel something."
It takes all sorts I suppose.
