Science, since it is an objective inquiry (rather, at least, as objective as human beings can be) into the nature of the universe, and of man and his place in the universe, is therefore universal in its appeal. I do not mean that everybody loves to study science. Unfortunately, this is very far from the case, but in every land irrespective of color, creed, and tradition there are people with the capacity and interest to join in this inquiry. Perhaps adventure would be a better word for it. The appeal of science lies very deep in men, because it expresses fundamentally the desire to explore, to understand, to know how things hang together, to get behind the superficial evidence of the senses, and, not least, to utilize this knowledge for human purpose.
