	Science fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Science fiction is a form of fiction which deals principally with the impact of imagined science and/or technology upon society or individuals.
		Soft science fiction is the subgenre where plots and themes tend to focus on philosophy, psychology, politics and sociology while de-emphasizing the details of technological hardware and physical laws.
		The European brand of science fiction proper began, however, toward the end of the 19th century with the scientific romances of Jules Verne, whose science was rather on the level of invention, as well as the science-oriented novels of social criticism by H.G. Wells.

		In 1656, John Wallis, in Opera mathematica, made the transition from the geometry of lines to the arithmetic of numbers where he made the first use of the category 'infinity' in the field of arithmetic and invented its symbol.
		In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
		Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).

		For science, lasers enable measurements of incredible precision, permit manipulation of individual atoms and living cells, and help control chemical reactions.
		The mechanical clock (13th-century) and its pendulum driven version (Christiaan Huygens, 1656) provided science with the tool it needed to quantify changes in natural phenomena, leading ultimately to Newton's conception of the clockwork cosmos.

		The God that science has thus eliminated is called "the God of the gaps" - the God that was needed to explain the gaps in human knowledge.
		The essence of science is to gain knowledge through careful observation of the natural world.
		When it comes to understanding the cosmos, science and spirituality are describing two complementary aspects of reality: one the nature of the material world we observe around us, the other the nature of the mind observing this world.

		The first pendulum clock was produced in December 1656 and was far more accurate than any previous clock.
		This clock could run for about three hours with an error of only one second whereas clocks with foliot balances would gain or lose that much every few minutes.
		Second hands did not become common until the anchor escapement further improved clock accuracy.
