We are a society in transition. Nearly all of our values and institutions appear to be shifting around us. Can physics help us understand the transition? The answer for me is clearly—yes. There is something unique in the history and philosophy of science, particularly physics, among all aspects of human culture. Physics welcomes change and knows how to use it. Certainly the experience of physics should help us to understand the nature of the transition we now face and to direct it for Man’s benefit.
