Thinkers before Plato tried to determine the fundamental components of our world, and the urge to build upon this understanding with greater and greater specificity has continued to this day, creating a sort of physical refinery within the natural sciences.Īt least since physics laid claim to the atom, scientists have been searching for ever more underlying substances and/or principles at work. The issue at hand concerns the nature of the world itself - world qua everything that exists, the universe and everything in it, the cosmos. Some physicists find it possible (and desirable) to explain this emergent narrative to a wide, non-specialist audience, a formidable task without employing the underlying numbers and equations.
