Robert Heinlein stated that “The golden age of science has yet to begin.” This statement brings light to the concept that we have yet to reach our apex when it comes to scientific advancement and our understanding of the natural world around us. As we evolve, our knowledge and how we perceive the world only seems to become less lucid. Back in the early 16th century the earth was flat. That was the truth accepted and anything else was considered blasphemy. Fast forward to the 19th century, the Earth is round and we laugh at the ideology behind a flat Earth. The Earth has always been the same Earth, but the scientific belief system has shifted due to progressions in the field. With that being said, the principles that we hold in high regards today could very well be …show more content…
The Rainbow Gravity Theory predicts that gravitational fields near supermassive objects will stretch light differently depending on its energy level. These theories are well respected due to their ability to explain convolute concepts and the effort being put forward to prove these theories. To think that all of this stems from determination to understand the world around us, is just simply amazing. It also ties into the idea that “The golden age of science has yet to begin.” There is far too much that we don’t know for us to even start the golden age. We have advanced enough to say we’ve come a long way but we are nowhere near the peak. We still live with several flaws and uncertainties. We have successfully built rocket ships that brought people in and out the atmosphere, but we can’t seem to build a car that can take a minor tap. How can we start the golden age when we haven’t cured mutations in DNA? How can we say that we have reached our peak, when we haven’t even sustained life on a foreign planet? We can’t even fathom how magnetism on our planet works, let alone grasp the concept that we have reached
