The overarching function of science operating in the “web” of innovation is not just to generate knowledge, but to relate what is known and what is unknown in complex situations of change. Of course, science as an agent of change will generate new knowledge—this is what research is all about. But on the road to that knowledge it will also accumulate new uncertainties and open questions. And the non-knowledge generated may well outstrip the relevant knowledge.
..who would have ever thought there was an open path in time leading from the trees all the way to the stars.. some of us call it human, some of us the yet again missing link. Undecided as it is.
