There Is Something Sublime About Its Aloofness

Physical Science Enjoys The Distinction Of Being The Most Fundamental Of The Experimental Sciences, And Its Laws Are Obeyed Universally, So Far As Is Known, Not Merely By Inanimate Things, But Also By Living Organisms, In Their Minutest Parts, As Single Individuals, And Also As Whole Communities. It Results From This That, However Complicated A Series Of Phenomena May Be And However Many Other Sciences May Enter Into Its Complete Presentation, The Purely Physical Aspect, Or The Application Of The Known Laws Of Matter And Energy, Can Always Be Legitimately Separated From The Other Aspects.

The Fact Remains That, If The Supply Of Energy Failed, Modern Civilization Would Come To An End As Abruptly As Does The Music Of An Organ Deprived Of Wind.
