Snow was a british physicist and novelist. Publishes the two cultures and the scientific revolution . Started debate about the relationship of learning science.

The laws are consistent with the real world of everyday appearances. However, when dealing with science at an atomic levels, these rules are different. This is not observable in everyday life.
