Outer Space The More We Learn

Here we have the reason why deciding we know everything that we will ever know, or need to know, about what’s out there because the math (i.e. Physics) tells us, so; is a bad idea. No, I am not saying that we should ignore any of the physics: particle, string, the big bang, etc., and you name it.



Those physics can and do provide insights as well as answers to what we can expect and is out there; beyond our ability to explore and analyze. What the article reveals is that we should guard against a natural tendency toward complacency in the belief that we can figure everything out by studying all the available information of today.



A type of complacency that leads far too many of us to conclude that today’s methodology in the study of outer space is the only avenue worth pursuing.

Until we go out there, to be on the spot, we really don't know what the actual physics are. They could be different, to vastly different ("Spooky actions at a distance" -- Albert Einstein), from what we . . . inside an isolated island cocoon of a closed systematic observation post of Earth. . . are told they are. It isn't necessarily all the same closed systematic physics' universe we observe as such and are told it is. There may exist an equal but opposite open systematic physics' universe . . . unobserved and unobservable as such . . . except maybe in "expansionism" of universe.
 
I believe the laws of motion are omnipresent. And neither location or time or velocity or gravity can change them.
True which we need to bear in mind as we advance our knowledge through the study of what we can observe. That observation and study thereof; leads to assumptions based on those observations. Once we have proven and or disproven, the conclusion(s).

Ones we may have drawn via the observations. Through the use of available methods which we use to further our ability to increase and understand what we have observed; then we begin to increase our knowledge.



But as you say what we are told it (the combined knowledge?) is. May not necessarily be all there is to know about what we can observe and study. Again, because as you put forward: add in what we cannot observe and the effects it may have on everything around it. Then the scale of our true knowledge decreases by magnitudes we as of yet can’t quantify.
