of sociology and physics. In the discipline of sociology hermeneutics (the art of interpretation) and phenomenology find a place within a horizon of diverse and contested theories and methodologies, while in physics paradigm shifts meet initially with resistance
until a new paradigm becomes dominant. Mosca addresses how the quantum paradigm for physics leads to a fundamentally new paradigm for storing and manipulating information, "quantum computation." Bonner addresses the importance of coming to terms with the limits
of knowing and control for humans to find a way of being at home in the world.</font></div>
