- kens 6y agoThe thing about biology is that even the "known unknowns" form a huge list. There are over 200 different known types of cells, but there are probably lots more waiting to be discovered. Lots of genes in the body have unknown or hand-waving functions. If you look at a cell biology book, there are lots of questions marks in the diagrams. It seems to me that scientists should be putting a lot more effort into answering these questions. I consider these questions much more important than the questions that particle physics is expensively investigating for instance. It's as if an advanced alien nanotechnology machine appeared and people didn't put all their effort into understanding it.
