Not stupid. Relative to what we can confidently know about the universe (not even bothering with what we don’t know), we just live too short a time to get anywhere meaningful. “Relativity” is our best hope, yet requires enormous energy to achieve - “enormous” as in: on the scale of mankind’s total energy usage for a year. Sure, we’ll learn things to improve our travel abilities ... but be ready for the reality that the universe is much, much larger than our puny brains can comprehend.
Makes perfect sense to me. I’ve travelled, and looked at the stars.
Heh, compared to the knowledge we still do NOT have, I’d still say that we are stupid...heh.
Yes, I like the Relative statement and I agree that we know what we know now and it is such a small part of tomorrow’s knowledge - and probably many things are wrong! We all wish that we could live to see tomorrow’s future but alas, not to be. I guess that at my age that I just wish that I could be around to see the progress. Some here will and I am jealous.
Sure would love to see into the future though... I suspect that so many things considered impossible today will change.
Oh, and Relativity (as learned) may just be a speck into the possibilities of the future. Man can be a bit slow when it comes to understanding and using practical science.
