When we have once made our minds familiar with one or two great physical laws, we begin to look upon the universe as a realization of the highest principles of Order and Beauty, and we are prepared to see in nature not a mere assemblage of wonders to excite our curiosity but a systematic museum designed to introduce us , step by step, into the fundamental principles which are displayed in the works of creation.
