Understanding some limits of modern science

Reading a great book “13 things that don’t make sense” by Michael Brooks. It throws great perspective into news you hear about dark matters and other current scientific pursuits. Bottom line we know much less than we pretend to, and there is experimental data that we have trouble fitting into our models. This reminds of scientists saying in the 19th century that everything had been discovered (and parallels in human sciences of “the end of History”). It is great and refreshing to see that we are but in the infancy of understanding the laws governing our world, and there is always going to be room for new Einsteins !
