Nothing Will Stay The Same

That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.”

Knowledge like the rest of the world faces a universal constant, everything changes. What we know like ourselves changes everyday, one day you might think that we humans are the only intelligent life forms in this galaxy then the next you might find out that there are more intelligent life forms out there. To get a better understanding of what i am saying we should look at our history on the earth and what were our truths then and now.

A couple hundred years ago we as humans ‘knew’ that the earth was flat and if you sailed too far into the horizon you would fall off the earth but now our knowledge has changed, we now know that the earth is round and there is no possible way that we would plummet off the horizon. Another example would be how the ancient Greeks believed/ ‘knew’ that the sun was pulled by the god Apollo on his horse drawn chariot, that was until it was proven that the earth rotated around the sun while turning giving the illusion that the sun moves when it is in fact the earth revolving around the sun.

So with each passing day our knowledge of things continues to change, from finding out that GMO means genetically modified organism and that most of are foods are gmos, to finding out that one day our source of energy the sun will one day go out  and it will take us 8 minutes and 20 seconds to notice it.

In conclusion we can say with confidence that nothing we know is set in stone because one day everything we knew will have changed.
