I understand what you're saying.

I just wish I could be alive when we can explore further into the unkown. Any knowledge on this topic fascinates me so much. Thank you again for that icing on the cake analogy. May you have a wonderful day.

You are alive for that! Look around. So much is being discovered today that nobody can keep up with it all. That's mind blowing to me.

Even as a child in the 80s, I might go months without having some major discovery made, maybe years.

Today I can't get through a single news cycle.

Never fear that we'll run out of discovery. That's not possible. Novel information is created faster than it's absorbed, at least by any given individual.

We're delving into reality in ways today that are mind blowing on many different scales.

The real fear, is running out of time to explore.
