One thing is clear: Astronomers will have to rethink the cosmic limits of our solar system.

I am working with a group of youth, preparing them for Confirmation. Last week we set off to explore the universe. One interesting piece of information we discussed comes from NASA.

According to NASA, more is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the Universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the Universe. When it comes to the oceans, we know only 3%.

Nothing is "Settle Science".

Thanks NYer. One of the traps people from all walks wander themselves into is the false idea that knowledge is complete. :’)

Gee, the new planet looks like a big red arrow.

Some in the scientific community would be much better served if they were up front about how much we don’t know about almost everything. But no one ever got a grant or published a book talking about all the things we don’t know (and may never know).
