the idea that, because we can never truly know everything, knowing what we know does not matter, is SUICIDAL and STUPID and WRONG.

the beauty iof exploration of scientific inquiry is that, once something is learned it doe snot close doors, instead opening up new doors of inquiry. that is the BEAUTY of it.

for centuries humans thought we would never understand what light was, and we now know probably 99% of what we can find out about light. For centuries humans thought that our solar system was the whole of existance, then we thought our galaxy was the whole of existance, but no, someone KEPT ASKING QUESTIONS, and we discovered that there are millions upon millions of galaxies just like ours, and millions extremely different from ours, and that only made us want to know more.

science, it's what's for dinner.

people made the same criticisms of the hubble space telescope when it was first created and funded, and those IDIOTS were wrong.
