exactly, it just seems really arrogant to me given that we don't know A LOT... maybe at some point we'll discover that a lot of the underlying axioms we hold about these things aren't giving us a proper picture

Actually we have been confronted many times in history with this human arrogance proven wrong again and again. One of the best examples of this is many centuries ago when we were absolutely certain that the earth was flat, at the center of the universe and all the stars including the sun revolved around our important ass. And we were so abysmally arrogant about this that just questioning this was considered heresy. You had to be mad to question something so obvious as the earth being flat and at the center of the universe, there is 0% chance that earth was not the center of everything, impossible, unthinkable, mad, blasphemous etc...

Being too certain of something, never questioning beliefs or paradigms is showing a lack of wisdom in my opinion.

yeah, i was agreeing with you, we make massive leaps with our technology and understanding of the universe over time

 

to say that what we understand right now is the absolutely limit of what can be learned about the universe is silly and its wrong

especially since as i've said before scientists admit that we cannot measure 97% of the universe around us with our conventional equipment so they just call that dark matter
