Arthur Zojanc is just one scientist, but he represents the journey of many scientists who decided to move away from the mainstream conduct of science, and found the deep meanings hidden in the natural world. Zajonc’s experience shows us that science is not about data and technology, it is about gaining the capacity to understand the interconnections of the world, and in the process, discovering the essential, which is also often the invisible.
