Science at its best is the search for commonalities, regularities, principles, and universalities that transcend and underlie the structure and behavior of any particular individual constituent, whether it be a quark, a galaxy, an electron, a cell, an airplane, a computer, a person, or a city. And it is at its very best when it can do that in a quantitative, mathematically computational, predictive framework, as is the case for electrons, airplanes, and computers, for instance.
