Does it ever seem as though as we reach further into the future, as our technology grows, so does the questions that arise on why things are so?
For example, when Columbus sailed the Ocean, it was a vast expanse of uncharted territory or whatnot, and likewise if we ever have the ability to travel great distances through space, it would appear to be the same.
What I'm trying to say is that, there are similarities to the past with regards to the future when we look at things we don't understand. I guess it's like what's past the ocean back then, and now it's like, what's past the stars now?
It's just something I've always thought about. It's like a never ending loop.
