  • The far-flung information systems depend on scientific information about electromagnetic waves obtained over a century ago and on the understanding of new kinds of materials that may be only a few years old.
  • Scientists now specialize, both by field and by the kind of work they do; some scientists study stars, others study cells, yet others atoms or quarks.
  • The balance between what is experimentally known because it has been seen; that is, measured, detected, or tested; and what is theoretically known because it is thought by some scientists that that's how it might be; that it is, which it must be, or it ought to be are all intrinsic to the advances of science.
