With Newton we got a powerful set of rules, and for a moment we thought we knew about every thing of the world. Lorentz, Einstein, Bohr, Ehrenfest, Heizenberg, some names out of a new golden period of scientific innovations, and suddenly we understood more. Singularity, time on hold, nothing can escape, but how about the big bang, not exactly nothing? No information travels faster than the speed of light, but how about quantum mechanics? The more questions we solve, the bigger are the remaining unsolved questions.
We live in a wonderful time to watch all these developments.
