...you never say never and have to keep the mind open to other possibilities.

Advancement in the material sciences has continued since prehistoric times, when man first learned to use a stick to dig for grubs, to the present, where we regularly send men and high tech devices into space.

We've climbed a long stair to where we are today, but we're certainly not at the top landing by any means. We can't even see the top landing from our current vantage point. There's much, much more to be discovered about the universe. More than we here today can possibly imagine.

That was great. I’m putting that in my list of quotes. Well said.

I like your quote too. I second the motion. We do see the same 1890’s thinking where back then they though that anything and everything that was invented and known was all there is but as we all see, it was not.
