Early Mechanical Concepts
Every great structure of thought begins with a simple image. In the seventeenth century, that image was the machine. Galileo, watching falling bodies and rolling spheres, dared to free his mind from the authority of Aristotle. He refused to see motion as the natural state of rest disturbed by force;...

The Rise of Field Theory
Out of those cracks arose the concept of the field, and with it, a revolution of vision. The great English experimenter Michael Faraday did not think in terms of mechanical particles alone. He saw around magnets and electric charges mysterious regions of influence. To him, these were not invisible s...
