Synopsis:
Early theorists believed that in science lay the promise of certainty. Built
on a foundation of fact and constructed with objective and trustworthy tools,
science produced knowledge. But science has also shown us that this knowledge
will always be fundamentally incomplete and that a true understanding of the
world is ultimately beyond our grasp.
