Question

How does the author prove that ’the more we know, the more we don’t know?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

particular, the way that genes get regulated used to be a simple nugget of knowledge:

`a regulator gene codes for a regulator protein that controls transcription by binding to particular site(s) on DNA'

Now it's a gorgeous mess of ignorance involving small RNAs with poorly understood regulatory roles.

That's thrilling, because ignorance is the fun part of science. Before we knew there were ice ages we did not ahve the fun of trying to understand them; before we knew there were subatomic particles, we did not enjoy the thrill of trying to get our minds around them.

Will somebody please tell young people this? the way science gets taught -- as a catalogue of facts -- puts them off becoming explorers of ignorance.
