Richard Feynman gave this talk on the value of science over 50 years ago. It’s full of wisdom from a brilliant man.
If we take everything into account — not only what the ancients knew, but all of what we know today that they didn’t know — then I think we must frankly admit that we do not know.
All scientific progress came as a result of doubting existing “knowledge”. To make progress, we have to “recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt”.
