Reply #75: You "understamd" Supernovas.

[bvar22]

That is one of the most arrogant and amusing statements I have ever read on DU.
You (and the collective body of ALL our scientists and accumulated knowledge) "understand" Supernovas about as well as my dog understands Pick Up Trucks.

To fully appreciate how arrogant your comment is,
go back and read what educated people were saying about Science in the 1930s.
They believed that they had already solved most of the mysteries,
and any day now, the Unified Theory would explain all the rest.

In 50 years if we don't manage to kill everybody, people will look back at our current peak of Scientific knowledge,
and laugh their asses off at what we primitives thought we "knew".

If you are willing to explore further, your claim actually implies God & Intelligent Design.
How else would someone who evolved from a Hunter Gatherer develop the Intelligence and Awareness to "understand" the UNIVERSE? There is NO "Need to Know THis" in our evolution.

Do you believe that Human Beings have the intelligence to "understand" something as complex as the Universe?
Can my dog can "understand" something as complex as my Pick Up Truck?

Only someone who believes in a GOD at some deep level could answer that question with a YES.
