First sentence: One of the most striking successes of modern science has been to reduce the complex panoply of dynamical phenomena we observe in the world around us-the build-up of rust on a car bumper to the destructive effects of cyclonic winds-to the action of only four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
