Our world is getting ever more complex, more baffling. Some pessimists argue that scientific progress-or indeed society itself-will clog up because of "information overload." I don't think that's a serious worry. As science advances, more patterns and regularities are revealed in nature. These advances cut down the number of disconnected facts worth remembering. There's no need to record the fall of every apple, because, thanks to Isaac Newton, we understand how gravity pulls everything- whether apples or spacecraft-toward Earth.
The simplest building blocks of our world- atoms-behave in ways we can understand and calculate. And the laws and forces governing them are universal: Atoms behave the same way everywhere on Earth-indeed, they are the same, even in the remotest stars. We know these basic facts well enough to enable engineers to design all the mechanical artefacts of our modern world, from radios to rockets.
