For the last half millennium, scientific curiosity has driven a series of technological revolutions that powers today’s economy and dominates our way of life. About 500 years ago, studies of the motions of the planets and Moon led to mechanics. Mechanics led to the Industrial Revolution. Investigation of electricity, magnetism, and atoms led to the electrification of the planet, computers, cell phones, and a host of modern gadgets. Science now dominates the human experience.
