The journey and the entanglements intend to address what once the physicist John Ziman warned us about: "SCIENTISTS know philosophy and sociology as fish know water. They understand instinctively how to live in it without being aware that they are doing so.  That is, until the fish bowl is stirred or (horror!) overturned. We seem to be living in just such a time. Science is being shaken up and forced to abandon many of its cherished customs. We need to think hard about what is happening and what we should do, not merely to survive but to serve and delight humanity".
