Science of Chronology

1. A chronology of events, insights, and discoveries.

2. The body ( Chapters 1 through 24) has a completely different flavor and with this thread are interwoven the book's other themes.

3. Science is a community enterprise. The insights that shape our view of the Universe come not from a single person or a small handful but from the combined efforts of many. Therefore, this book has many characters.

4. A fundamental scientific discovery usually leads to the development of essentially new technology. And the acceleration of scientific and technical progress definitely depends on the development of new technologies.

5. In every sector of the vast front of contemporary science ranging from Chemistry to Biology and from astronomy to nuclear energy, intensive research is carried on; the laws governing nature and complex social processes are becoming better understood and knowledge, which gives manpower, is sought and acquired.

6. Scientific and technological progress rests on a core of qualified specialists. It depends, in the long run, on how readily and creatively people assimilate new scientific and technical ideas and apply them. This places a special responsibility on technical educational institutions that train specialists.
