Humans seem innately interested in the world we live in. Young children drive their parents batty with constant "why" questions. Science is a means to get some of those whys answered. science and technology has evolved over the last fifty years from an activity that focused on enabling more efficient calculations to a major intellectual theme that spans numerous disciplines in engineering and the sciences. To go further, however, we need new, unified ways of looking at, approaching, andand engineering. exploiting information in and across the physical and biological realms, as well as the social sciences. We have observed that the physical theories of the greek atomists were a kind of inspired premonition of ideas that reeemrged in the seventeenth centuary and later led to the bombs that feel on hiroshima and nagasaki. the greek had no instruments with which to investigate matter, nothing but their senses and their minds. how were they able to arrive at a conception of how the world is made that we know beleive to be true because we possess the instruents to prove it?
