Just a little science
Just to be completely upfront, I have no idea where this is going.
Now, I believe, some might say that " science " has absolutely no place, in a novel. Well, I must disagree for the following two reasons:
#1) Dr. Einstein's career was " highly " novel, by most regards, but people still do consider him to have been -- pretty sciency -- ( sciency, probably not a word ) ...
#2) Science Fiction, which I guess Isaac Asimov was selling at like $0.05 or $0.10 / word, or something, awhile back, and has a history which also goes back around 800 years.
Nevertheless, I have suggested, in the past, that the origins of " modern " science goes back to the time of Mohammad , but some might say, that it goes back to ancient times, with such folks as Archimedes. Yes, they definitely had some sciency guys back then. Another example might be the Great Pyramids of Giza, however, what we got from Mohammad was a " process ", by which we could make progress on many different fronts. For example, I am not sure how well Archimedes was capable of dealing with Jungian psychology, but who knows ?
Nevertheless, sometime, around the end of the day, like it or not, we got it now.
