"Être scientifiquement alphabétisé, c'est se donner le pouvoir de savoir quand quelqu'un d'autre dit des bêtises."
— Neil deGrasse Tyson

Simplified Meaning:
Understanding science helps you figure out when someone is talking nonsense. Imagine you're buying a used car, and the seller tells you it runs on water. If you know basic science, you can quickly see this claim is false because it's not how cars work. Similarly, when politicians or advertisements make wild claims, being scientifically smart helps you see through the lies. It’s like having a superpower to protect yourself from being tricked. With scientific knowledge, you make better decisions based on facts, not just what others say. This way, you stay informed and make choices that are best for you.
