As King Knut discovered while every person in his kingdom would do whatever he said, the tide failed to listen. A lesson for us all because Reality listens to no man, and the man who does not listen to reality is dead.
So Mankind has often rejoiced in his apparent supremacy over Nature. His apparent ability to command the forces; build aeroplanes; build computers; build fusion reactors.
But really it is because Mankind has become so good at listening to Nature, to obeying Nature that he has reaped such a fortune. After all no amount of Science can make the Laws change, we can only discover with ever quieter ear the thoughts of our master.
