How Little We Know

It's fascinating to read about discoveries in science. And it's amazing the conclusions we make from our limited knowledge.

In this story, we are told "The Big Bang, the explosion believed to have created the universe, is thought to have occurred 13.7 billion years ago. About 100 million years later, hydrogen atoms began to merge and ignite, creating brightly burning stars. Just what these stars were like wasn't clear."

Then later in the article we are told "'That's why this (study) was so exciting — for the first time, we're looking at potential evidence of how the first starlight was produced and when it was formed,' Loeb said."

I'm not dissing it, but I bet that our conclusions will change in another decade after we've made more discoveries "for the first time."
