Abstract:
When we see the many modern technical wonders, we give the credit to ‘science’, with its technological amplifiers. The foundations of these marvels are often the fruits of profound depths of basic science, as in the quantum physics that enable the PETs that form the nerve and brain cells of our computers and cell phones, or the gravitational blue shift crucial to the Global Positioning System, the GPS. The GPS, in particular, can trace its accuracy back to Albert Einstein himself and the General Theory of Relativity.
