OSTI ID:989747
This paper discusses the following topics: (1) Science versus technology - a false dichotomy; (2) scientific discovery is vital for future progress; (3) An example: Space quantization to magnetic reosnance imaging (MRI) - A timeline from 1911-1977; (4) Modern basic research - what is inside the proton; and (5) The 21st century - beginning of the 3rd millennium. The 20th century started with the study of macroscopic matter which led to the discovery of a whole new submicroscopic world of physics which totally changed our view of nature and led to new quantum applications, both fundamental and practical.
