Science is an ever-evolving journey of learning new things
Where we are today,
The knowledge we have gained,
Could not have been predicted 50 years ago.
Where we go next,
The knowledge yet to be discovered,
Can not be predicted today.
At least not specifically,
But generally speaking,
We know exactly where we are headed.
Towards a future of knowing everything,
How things work, how they interact with other things,
And how to enhance or suppress the way those things operate.
It may be difficult to imagine at times,
The things we have yet to learn,
We don’t even have names for them yet.
But in time, as the unknown things are discovered,
The unknown things will be named,
And then we will know what to call them.
In the meantime, we will keep an eye out for new things,
Here on This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!
