It isn't likely that a cursory glance of some science is going to blow anyone's mind. Faced with magical answers and the humdrum of biology, for example, the magical answers certainly -seem-, at least superficially, to be much more mind-blowing. Unfortunately, whether or not something blows our minds has very little to do with it's accuracy. Personally, I prefer my explanations to have explanatory power, rather than mind-blowing ability.....but it's difficult to ignore the tendency we seem to have to prefer to mind-blowing, magical, and fanciful explanations of this or that.
Imagine, for a moment, how plants follow the sun (one of my favorites). One could imagine themselves to death on something as blissfully simple as this...blowing their mind with every step...but the reality of the matter is that it is a mechanical process, completely and utterly unremarkable in the main.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
