00:00:05.483 --> 00:00:07.521
Three centuries ago

00:00:07.521 --> 00:00:11.562
the great English scientist Sir wrote

00:00:12.731 --> 00:00:16.902
"I seem to have been only like a boy playing at the sea shore.."

00:00:16.902 --> 00:00:21.388
"..while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:33.213
Today once again we are like children playing on the seashore

00:00:33.221 --> 00:00:36.947
But the great ocean of truth is no longer undiscovered

00:00:46.747 --> 00:00:50.125
We have unlocked the secrets of matter, the atom,

00:00:51.516 --> 00:00:54.646
we have unraveled the molecule of life - DNA,

00:00:56.317 --> 00:01:00.610
and we have created a form of artificial intelligence - the computer.

00:01:06.916 --> 00:01:10.632
The discovery of the fundamental laws of nature in the 20th century

00:01:11.527 --> 00:01:15.291
will open up unparalleled possibilities for the 21st.
