Question: How old we're you when you started science?

Philip Ratcliffe answered on 11 Nov 2014:

It’s rather hard to say. We all effectively start science when we’re still little kids: just as soon as we start seeing logical connections between cause and effect – it’s just that nobody calls it science. For example, although it took Newton to write down his laws and you only meet them later on in school, everyone learns early on that the harder you push something the faster it accelerates and the heavier it is the harder you have to push to get the same acceleration. You might even guess pretty quickly that twice as heavy needs twice the force.
To y mind it’s a pity that we have to get so formal about science and that until we do we often don’t even consider anything as science.
Now, to answer the question you really meant, at junior high-school I suppose; I first got into chemistry in a big way – you know, making smells, making mixture change colour and so on, I also read some pretty advanced textbooks. Then later on in upper high-school and switched over to physics and maths and never left them.
