Wading into the Cosmic Ocean.

In his book, Cosmos, Carl Sagan gave an excellent analogy of mankind's examination of the Cosmos.

“The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore, we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”

― Carl Sagan, Cosmos


We are only "ankle deep" in the cosmic ocean.  We have explored so very little and think we know so very much.  But we are only kindergartners learning the world with our eyes wide open and our childhood curiosity in tact.
