What we think we know ...

The story that outlines are sometimes over reaching idea of what we think we really know about the universe around us .The illusion that science has all the answers right now.



A explorer was traveling throughout a distance land and came upon a new village unknown to him and others on his trip.He stayed at the village for several months and enjoyed the peoples hospitality.



But like all good things it had to come to a end .Before leaving the village the wise men came together to watch the explorers leave.



The explorer talked about how much more knowledge he had and that he was more worldly than the village elders.He bent down and drew a small circle and then a large circle around it.He said the small circle is what you the old men know and the large circle is the what we the exploriers knew a great deal.



One of the old men came towards the circles in the sand and drew a larger circle around them both.



"This is what we both don't know about the great world and space around us"

The old man walked back to the group and sat down.



This is a good tale about the how we think we know it all.
