Or is it literature or science or silent one.

sperm begin their titanic struggle, the race for the egg to fertilize, but only one, hopefully, find the entrance to the temple of fertility. Lost, for this, and within its flagellum and travel in the interior of the female gonad, the final stretch toward the altar there is the nucleus and its genetic materials are mixed to form the double helix of DNA, the information to define a new being.

Emerging from the distant Oort cloud, in seventy-five, is making headway in the solar system, a huge mass of ice and other substances which we know by the name of Comet Halley. On his last visit, while the sun warmed the surface and the solar wind combed his hair eyéctil along thousands of miles to our visual delight, you are bombarded with probes to extract their last secrets. Some managed to open the flower part of his secret, but others were lost in its icy depths or darkness of space. After "Halley" returned to his rest beyond the planetoid known to sleep last another seventy-five, when it gives us another opportunity to win their intimacies.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity), according to recent studies, is present in its most visible, in approximately 7% of children, being more common in boys than in girls. However, New studies suggest that the percentage may be even greater. Because until about twenty years ago, had not taken account of this disorder, suggests that the number of affected may be increasing in every generation. On the other hand, the study of this problem, the prison population to believe otherwise. There has been discovered that in some cases, ADHD is present in more than 50% of the prison population. Among subjects with methylphenidate treatment reduced the rate of recidivism in the crime. This high prison population with ADHD shows that, since they too were children, the percentages were already present in current generation earlier, just missing relevant studies to prove it.
Science or literature?
Science has always been surrounded by seas of doubt. At first the scientists were treated, for better and for worse, as magicians, in fact some behaved as such. However, nowadays there are few published protocols and stringent verification to ensure the validity of the findings, but despite how demanding the scientific world still, from time to time, producing sonadísimos fraud. Remember Atapuerca fraud, where someone mixed the jaw of a horse with the skull of a hominid to invent the missing link eternal ... that fraud was about to spoil the results of a field that, ultimately, has proved a very fruitful. Another singular case of fraud was the "cold fusion" that for several years in the eighties of last century, thousands of pages dirtied the world press.
But a few frauds can not take away our confidence in the scientists that every day, their work, prepare our future.
"Literature or Science?
I have never liked the dogmas of faith and Don José Ortega y Gasset was very prone to them. Science, literature or anything, and among the many choices gray is not an option. It is a pity that today, after it rains a lot of literature and make many umbrella of science, still read many quotes from this great man who sometimes hit, but others also failed. Because to err is human, and Don José was not God.
Don Jose, if their errors were not science should be literature ... or maybe you'd better shut up, but then ... then we would have lost their successes.
Moral: even the dogmas of faith should be consulted.
FINAL NOTE: I still believe that science and literature are compatible. For when the fair valuation As the popularization of science in our country ..
