Are You Sure?

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

None Absolutely Certain

The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I think.  When a scientist doesn’t know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant.  When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain.  And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is in some doubt.  We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize the ignorance and leave room for doubt.  Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty – some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain.
—  Dr. Richard P. Feynman

Uncertain Times

You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time.  You know, all time is uncertain.  I mean, it was uncertain back in – in 2007, we just didn’t know it was uncertain.  It was – uncertain on September 10th, 2001.  It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn’t know it.
