The hopelessness and confusion that comes at the frontier of science is precisely why I stopped studying biochemistry for my bachelors degree. By the first 300 level course, people begin to start asking relatively simple questions that are not yet known to mankind. It freaked me out. I couldn't imagine ever discovering new knowledge and subsequently dropped out and into computer science...

The most beautiful questions of mathematics and computer science so very often start out "Does there exist..." and we are left with no answer other than, "Who knows!" The world is wide and strange and we are very small indeed. That is beautiful to me.
