As science and technology become more sophisticated, there's a return to old patterns - to what we thought we were moving away from. You can see it in quantum physics. Science has always been about reason and dispelling superstition and approaching things in a mathematical and very rational way.
But then, in the 20th century, suddenly there was something really weird, ethereal, poetic, arcane, about science. The act of observing an experiment changes the result. Particles act in coordination even though they're separated by hundreds or thousands of kilometers. There's something mysterious going on.
