Quote:That's exactly my point. If we accept this notion that we aren't capable of ever understanding something simply because we don't currently understand it we will never progress. If we (I am speaking in terms of the species here) had accepted that there was no possible way for us to truly comprehend anything beyond the Earth we'd still be considering tracking a planet to be much more than a nifty trick. Instead we're able to predict the position of each planet at any given time with practically absolute certainty, place people on the moon, place robots on Mars, track comets only a few miles wide, and detect the existence of planets based on extremely tiny differences in the light that reaches Earth from stars.
