100 years ago, we don’t understand electricity, so we think of the electric eel as an amazing fish. With understanding the electricity, we learn that the power of the eel is produced by muscle discharge. Similarly, if we don’t understand sound, we would not know the magic of bat flying; if we don’t understand magnetic field, we would not know the migration of whale and many other animal. Before the system theory came into being, our understanding of
