It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most exciting thing in the twentieth century is science.
Biology is now bigger than physics, as measured by the size of budgets, by the size of the workforce, or by the output of major discoveries; and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.
We live, I think, in the century of science and, perhaps, even in the century of physics.
I think that in the 21st century, medical biology will advance at a more rapid pace than before.
Just as it had taken centuries to determine the true nature of the universe, so also the search for the beginning of human life proceeded well into the 20th century.
As for sticking strictly to presently known science, I will simply point out that we have already experienced at least two major revolutions in science in this century alone.
The future of society is 100% dependent on scientific advances.
The 20th Century was the century of Aviation and the century of Globalization. The next century will be the century of Space.
The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not.
We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology.
