Question: Does working in science mean that you have a greater understanding of the world around you and do you look at the world differently because of this?

I think working in sciences allows you to understand things around you better, but it is not like I walk around thinking about all the particles going through the sky, or what is inside of the water drops or thinking of the waves that the sun radiates (maybe some scientists do). Nevertheless, it is true that one gets quicker at understanding things and that sometimes I would know some curious trivia about how things happen that my friends would not know.
