ABSTRACT

We have been and we will be clever in manipulating and using physical laws in terms of science and the application of science, technology. Just think over the past century, from ’rst ¦ight of airplanes (1903), to man landing on the moon (1969), and to exploration of the solar system by robotic systems, and from the special theory of relativity (1905) which predicted the relation between mass and energy to the atomic bomb (1945). Another major technology advance is the invention of the transistor (1947), which led to integrated circuits and myriad electronic devices; as a result, much of the population of the world (2010) has instant mobile phones, songs, and video in their hands and via Internet access.
