I guess most of our generation would have this feeling. The feeling that we are working on the frontiers of science and working on cutting edge technology. But how far are we really? If you think the science and technology you learnt in the textbooks during schooling were latest, you’ve got to rethink. It might me even 50 yrs old. Just have a look at the picture below. Does it look something new?
It happens one day that I Google through advances in Physics. And I came to know that these are the elementary particles that make up the universe. Oops I thought. There are new developments as all I knew was atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, photons…. I missed developments in science in the recent years i thought. I browsed through wikipedia to find how many years I am behind scientific developments. Well they were much more than I thought, for the picture above has been around during the year I was born… Add there is string theory, M Theory, 11th Dimension, Dark Matter, Antimatter.. Lot may (Thanks to Angels and Demons for throwing some light!) God!!! Praise my knowledge!!
