As scientists’ understanding of the physical laws of nature grows more sophisticated, engineers can build better bridges and buildings. Improvements in natural science enhance, rather than impede, our ability to shape our physical environment.
这就是人的科学和自然科学的差异之处。就拿科学和工程的关系来说吧。随着科学家对自然物理定律的理解的成熟，工程师得以建造更好的桥梁和大厦。自然科学的进步促进而不是妨碍了我们改变实体环境的能力。
