On Science and Uncertainty

How does it connect to what you already know?

We live in error, error is what keeps us moving forward. what is unknown to us is the motivation to discover and renew our technology. Technology is moving fast and it is causing new problems that we would not have if we had not tried to solve them. Science gives us the final answer to what we question for, but not necessarily gives us the method for it. we do not know how the first cell of an embryo, starting from the fusion of an egg and a sperm, sort themselves out with infallible precision into the system of differentiated cells of a baby, but we do know that it works and there is proof for it!

we do not know how normal cells transform into cancer cells, but we know that it happens and exists!
We know things because we discover them, we study them and understand them, but the ultimate secret to life and unanswerable questions, come from the science we built that is ahead of us.

Has it extended your knowledge?

Science has extended my knowledge on everyday situations that i overcome, it has helped me analise laws and what acts upon my intelligence. the acceleration of free fall for example, i know it is an attraction towards earth of 9.81 ms-1. i understand it but i dont know why it happens.it extends my knowledge towards things that exist but dont give me an answer to others.

How does it challenge what you already know?

Science has helped me realise the meaning behind certain things in life. it gave a meaning to physical laws that i would experience but not know what was happening. i took everything for granted. This challanged the way i think. the more questions i have the more answers i will get but without knowing why its like that. this will always challenge my intellect and how i think.
