I don’t blame science and the upcoming technologies, but the
way people have taken advantage of it, as Einstein said, "...full
of idiots."


Physics is beautiful and awesome and with it we had discovered
electromagnetic radiation and electricity, the basis of
communication. Satellites are in orbit because of gravity. The
forces of nature governed by laws of physics are driving our
daily lives.
Alvin Toffler conspicuously showed this in his 1980 book, Third
Wave, in which he scribbled much about the advancement of
human civilization, the turning point into log phase, industrial
revolution starting in 1750 driven by laws of physics.


Just to make a short recap: Tesla's electricity powers the world,
Faraday's fields the basis of electric production in power stations
and his electromagnetism is the basis of communication signals,
Newton's gravity holding satellites in orbit, Einstein's
photoelectric effect is the physics emitting light in lasers used in
hospitals and many industries, Marie Curie's radioactivity is
used in medicine, archeology, geology and other subjects, of
course, many of them, all is just physics. So, as Walter Lewin
said, "Everything is Physics."


Human civilization had advanced from a First Wave, agrarian
economy based. Work was done using horse power. During
industrial Revolution, electricity was invented and steam
