How is Science Made Fun Today?

Science is a process. This fact is imparted through as people make it through high-school. As we observe the natural world and find new patterns we must adjust our hypotheses to suit these new ideas. This has been seen in many cases, such as Newton's law of gravitation which was famously modified by Einstein's theory of relativity as new research was done. Now the question is, how is this information usually conveyed to the general public? There was a time when people gathered in coffee shops to gossip about the latest breakthroughs. Most people don't tend to read scientific articles in the modern era, though there are a handful that subscribe to scientific magazines. The massive rise of popular science has been greatly influenced by the internet in this day, mirroring the coffee shops that once housed rousing discussions on an often much grander scale. One common way is through viral "fun facts" shared on social media, though these can often be sensationalist if not outright inaccurate. There's also YouTube channels such as NileRed as seen below:

Many of these channels tend to have more accurate science, though it can often be more dangerous than what would be done in a traditional lab—i.e. eating what you produced as shown previously or the super-powered lasers of Styropyro. Superhero comics as well have come a long way in this regard.

In the older comics, the fact sections were given separate pages and were often only tangentially related to the strips in the book itself. Often they mainly acted as a form of filler that was more interesting than just the advertisements plastered throughout the book. Though evolution in comic storytelling "eventually saw the facts transfer over to actually being said by" the characters themselves as noted in "What is the Origin of Flash Facts?"

More complex storytelling allows for much more immersive small science lessons, such as this one which implements an aspect of Einstein's theory of special relativity into the events in the actual story itself. Of course, as science progresses the way it's used in comic books will as well along with updated understanding of how certain natural processes work. That said, comics' stories often still fall into the realm of science-fiction of course.
