Staring into the abyss

re: How to Peer Through a Wormhole (The New York Times, 19 November, 2019) 


A timely reminder of how little we know.

While it's sensible to follow the best current scientific knowledge, it's also prudent to realize that that might be radically changed very quickly, as Copernicus, Galileo et al. did 500 years ago, as Newton and co. did 300 years ago, and as Einstein and the quantum men did just over a century ago.

We can guess, but cannot know what is just around the corner.
