Science was born when people like Galileo realised that mathematics
was the language in which the Universe spoke but we only became fluent when
it was realised that the dialect was algebra
Science was born when an equation was first applied to a physical process

A free ranging discussion, initiated by Harry Kroto, on the fact that Science really seems to have been born when the first equation was used to describe some aspect of the the way the Universe works. Whoever did write it write it could rightly be considered the Father of Modern Science.. Hopefully an intriguing historical perspective on what Science is and when it really started will evolve –
