We are the Science Knights. A branch of Lazy Knights Productions who have dedicated ourselves to becoming Science Communicators. But what does that mean? Another way of putting it is this: We are not scientists, but we recognize the importance and necessity of science. As such, it’s important to talk about it, to bring you informed content, and continue that most noble of humanity’s quests of piercing the unknown and peeling back the veil of ignorance. As such you will find a multitude of different questions being asked, from “Where did we come from?” To “Why is the sky blue?” Question the nature of your reality, make educated guesses about what you can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. And above all else, don’t be afraid to be wrong!
