this is funny, but not entirely true (hopefully)! i tend to look at things on more of an intuition level - not always attaching equations to simple events. if something confuses me or doesnt make sense at first glance, then i'll think about it a bit more in depth in order to try to understand it.
the comic above is posted with a cool link to found functions and a quote from the late great carl sagan: science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
this reminded me of a little video clip i saw this week where neil degrasse tyson discusses how we should be trying to teach students and people how to ask questions about why things are the way they are instead of just trying to memorize some facts or believe anything people tell you.
and one more link... i read an interesting article this week that asks what is a "law of physics," anyway?
