Take a moment to visualize humanity in its entirety, from the earliest humans to the present. How would you characterize the well-being of humanity? Think beyond the latest stories in the news. To help clarify, think about medical treatment, housing, transportation, education, and our knowledge. While there is no denying that we have some problems that did not exist in earlier generations, we also have considerably more knowledge.
The progress humanity has made in learning about ourselves, our world and our universe has been fueled by the desire of people to solve problems or gain an understanding. It has been financed through both public and private monies. It has been achieved through a continual process of people proposing theories and others attempting to refute the theories using evidence. Theories that are not refuted become part of our collective knowledge. No single person has accomplished this, it has been a collective effort of humankind.
