Science seems only to be respected but not approached, the misconception pulls us apart with science. But if we harbor this aloofness and hail scientists as“freaks”, how can we truly dig into it?Actually, our life bound up with science, the truth of nature.This dialectical relationship determines the necessity of a mechanism for the coordinated development between human being and science.Throughout the whole history, scientists explore the secret of life inward, as well as the perpetual physical world externally.This article generally traces the history of science, and leads us to the time track within which splendid achievements lay out all the way from the very beginning towards future, the infinite world.Though some still remains to be clarified or falsified, right or wrong, good or bad ceased to matter.
