YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow did science truly begin?
Surprisingly, the pursuit of knowledge didn’t set the stage for modern science. Instead, it was a revolutionary idea—the recognition that we don’t have all the answers. In the past, people often looked to sacred texts or respected individuals for answers. Knowledge was based on faith. But science began when some humans admitted that we don't know everything. The discovery of ignorance launched the scientific revolution. This humble realization gave us the courage and honesty to embark on the journey of investigation and discovery we now call science.
Filmed in May 2023 in Madrid, Spain, as part of the program ‘Aprendemos Juntos’ (“Learning Together”).
