"The four elements are our past. Just as literature grew from ancient fireside tales of heroes, talking animals, and children lost in magical woods, so the intricate edifice of modern science grew from the fundamental four. Water, air, fire and earth exert their mental influence at the mental border where the inner world of fantasy and imagination meets the outer world of fact. Our perspective still shifts between the two, wavering from subatomic particle to water sprite and back again - different ways of seeing, just as an optical illusion can show first as a goblet, next a pair of human profiles. Pair the Periodic Table and the classic Greek four and we see what Carl Sagan meant by science's "marriage of scepticism and wonder" - an analytic eye coupled with a sense of awe, and a respect for the long road we've travelled to get us where we are today."
