previously we used to think that the world was made up of 5 basic elements i.e.earth, water , fire,air and sky. gradually our knowledge increased and now we know that there are about 108 elements. now we also know that a molecule can be broken into atoms and atom is also divisible there are protons, neutrons and electrons. then they are further divisible. there are positrons, quantas and what not.with each increase in so called knowledge, the life become tougher. today we know more than our forfathers. but we also donot know more than what our forfathersdid not know.moreover this knowledge doesnot seem to have made our life any simpler.
