Hidden harmony :
----------------
"There is inherent in nature a hidden harmony that reflects
itself in our minds under the image of simple mathematical laws. That
then is the reson why events in nature are predictable by a
combination of observation and mathematical analysis. Again and again
in the history of physics this conviction, or should I say this dream,
of harmony in nature has found fulfillments beyond our expectation."
- Hermann Weyl, in Philosophy of
Mathematics and Natural Science.

How things in everyday life work ? If current reverses in ac
supply, why is only one wire hot ? Is it possible to create a magnet
with more north & south poles ? Why does a roller coaster end on a
lower level than where it starts ? What is event horizon ? What holds
the atoms in a molecule together ? How does a CD player pause if the
CD continues to run ? Can a lightning strike a flying airplane ?
