Reflection Paper

The document discusses how Hannu Rajaniemi's stories show how science and understanding of the world have become increasingly complex over time. It argues that to truly understand anything, one must understand everything from the very small to the very big. As people study history and learn about past scientific discoveries, they can develop new ways of thinking and make their own discoveries. The timeline of science creates its own historical progression as tools improve for measuring and observing the world.

The talk of Hannu Rajaniemi

I will talk about in this paper, how history is important in development of science and

technology. Hannu's stories shows how our understanding of science (and the world)

changed over time and the exponentially increasing complexities imposed in our lives.

"To understand anything you must understand everything". We are made from very

small things and we live in very big universe. We think that there is no hope of

understanding them if there are big and small. The world is very hard to understand

that’s why we have to study science to make them understand. As we learn how other

people made new discoveries, we learn new ways of thinking that might allow us to

make our own new discoveries. We see how science is influenced by culture like in the

war in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When we learn history, we might learn the highlights of

scientific history, such as Einstein’s Equations that predict an expanding universe and

Leo Szilard’s atomic power. As time goes on, we question more and more about what

we see. And as time goes on, we develop more tools for measuring and observing the

world in which we live. This creates its own historical timeline. Einstein said that things

should be as simple as possible but no simpler and that's a good rule for us to follow

both as a species and in our lives so let's embrace complexity where we must but find

simplicity where we can and this is thought I'd like to leave you with there's a name for

the time in our lives where everything we think we know turns out to be wrong where

everything is too complex everything is too overwhelming and we don't know what to do

and it's called growing up and that's when our adventures really begin.
