In the Bag household, summer ended with the youngest of our clan heading off to college, chasing her degree, and on a clear path to self-improvement. Mrs. Bag & myself were tickled to see her chosen class schedule heavy in the sciences, which should provide her with long-term advantages over much of her “liberal arts” generation. While milling around our now empty nest, Bag got to thinking about the various scientific disciplines and all the remarkable technological advances they have provided humanity in the last couple of centuries. It is truly mind-boggling if you think about it. In medicine, we have gone from treating the sick with Leeches to Heart transplants in about 200 years. In Physics, we have gone from Kittyhawk - to flying probes past Pluto in a little over a century. It was the science of mathematics (Ones & Zeroes) that gave the world digital circuitry, computers, and, of course, cell phones. The monumental advancements are undeniable in every scientific discipline you can name…..
Well said, I truly enjoyed that.
