So, I've written a text on "uncertainty" and wonder if it can inspire discussion here. It's actually more than a text, it's also an exhibition of art having to do with science. It can be glimpsed HERE.

The text in a nutshell is that uncertainty is at the core of science -- and supernatural beliefs which fill the unknown with made-up explanations are nothing more than an attempt to "certain-ize" and, as it were, decaffeinate our existential insecurities. But we'd do much better to live with and celebrate uncertainty as the spark of curiosity, creativity, innovation, and exploration. Uncertainty is an irritant, but an irritant to savor.
