Abstract
TODAY WE FIND OURSELVES IN A CURIOUS SITUATION. In the past half millennium, the world has undergone a series of expansions and contractions. For example, the world dramatically expanded with the discovery of the Americas, but it contracted when the world was mapped; the universe expanded when the newly invented telescope seemed to reveal an infinite space, and it contracted when astronomers told us the universe was finite. At the molecular level, the world expanded with the discovery of DNA, but it contracted with the mapping of the human genome. So the question: do we live in a small world growing larger or a large world growing smaller?
