The immensity of knowledge and truth

    "...while the great ocean of truth was laid out before me completely unknown."
    *Isaac Newton

    This is one of the most profound phrases expressed by the great sage and scientist Isaac Newton, and with which I identify myself very much, because in my profession as a researcher and scholar of the sciences of the Earth and the universe I realize more and more how little we really know, and the immensity that we do not know and how much we will never even get to know.

    As he also said on another occasion:

    What we know is a drop of water. What we ignore is the ocean.
