PRIDE CHEKERAzealous minds were born; who revolutionized the way we think.
New epistemic fields were given birth; harbors of knowledge
meant to grasp scientific and philosophical facts behind the
existence of things. In his book, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD SO FAR-
WHY ARE WE HERE?, Lawrence M. Krauss, Professor of Physics at
Arizona University, fantastically, in an elegant way, presented
how humanity was enlightened by science from the ‘dark ages’
to where we are in the present. He wrote: Humanity took a
major step towards modernity when it dawned in our ancestors’
consciousness that there is more to the universe than meets the
eye. This realization was probably not accidental. We appear to
be hardwired to need a narrative that transcends and makes
sense of our own existence, a need that was probably intimately
related to the rise of religious belief in early human societies.
The beauty of science had been fantastically drawn by thousands
of scientists since time immemorial. In this short essay l can’t
site them all, but just present some of them to give an insight of
the whole picture which manifests the gorgeous power of
physics. Michio Kaku in his 2011 bestseller; PHYSICS OF THE
FUTURE. HOW SCIENCE WILL SHAPE HUMAN DESTINY
AND OUR DAILY LIVES BY THE YEAR 2100 , wrote:
Today, we are no longer living in the dark ages of science, when
lightning bolts and plagues were thought to be the work of gods.
