Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Science contains so many fields, and each field contains different subjects. How many basic/most common scientific fields are there. Ex: Biology for organic life, geology for natural science, math (lol) For every scientific field, they all have properties or characteristics that define them. Then, in order to develop, they need theories. What are some of your favorite OOTW scientific thesis's/developments?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
There is no understanding of Biology without Chemistry. There is no understanding of Chemistry without Physics. For these reasons, Physics is Phundamental to our understanding of Earth and the rest of the universe.
Furthermore, Mathematics is the language of the Universe.
All branches of science ultimately reduce to physics and math. Learn them both and pick your path.
My favorite unanswered questions are: 1) what was around before the universe? What is Dark matter? What is Dark Energy? 2) One. Earth, how did organic molecules transition to become self-replicating life? 3) Is there intelligent life in the universe?

Couls this explain conspiracy-theorists and all those. Or what do you think is the cause of false beliefs?

Can you explain, if the universe is expanding from the point where the Big Bang occurred, how can the light from the objects (now) X billion light years away just now be reaching us? How did our slow selves physically get "out here" AHEAD of that light, while we wait patiently for it to arrive? In other words, how is the expansion of space faster than light?
