• Question: Should we humans continue to try and understand the science of the universe or should we let the universe continue to be the mystery that it is for our own good?

      I definitely think that we should keep learning about the world around us! The things we could find out would not only be interesting, but hugely helpful to us – I mean, you wouldn’t decide not to learn english to let the alphabet remain a mystery, so why apply that to science!

      Humans are naturally curious, I think we will always wonder.. I don’t think knowing is going to be bad for us, but perhaps the resources we currently use for that might currently be better spent on avoiding climate change for example. However many advanced made for space exploration are now implementated in general society (computers, super light composite materials which reduce fuel consumption, even velcro). I don’t think there’s a clear cut answer!

      I think it’s in human nature to be curious about the world around us, and there will always be more to discover. I think the problem could be what we do with the knowledge- as long as things aren’t used in a detrimental way to us and the universe around us
