While quite a bit of Fontenelle sounds matter-of-certainty to us as his discussion of limitless universe‚ his hypothesis on life beyond the Milky way Galaxy and his examination of space travel; we need to recall that distributed his book three centuries back was dangerous business. The thoughts he was bandying about were intense‚ disputable‚ even prohibited.

Science does not as yet have a full understanding of the universe. However‚ it is suggested that with increased technology and theoretical advance‚ it may be only decades before this is achieved. Do you agree this is possible? What might be the consequences? Science is‚ at its heart‚ a quest; a quest whose goal is to create an understanding of the universe.
