Science for everyone
Popular science is scientific information presented for a general audience rather than specialists.
It simplifies complex research, avoids technical jargon, and emphasizes accessibility and engagement: a popular science book about black holes, popular science magazines like Scientific American.
The goal is broad understanding rather than peer-reviewed precision.
