The only solid pieces of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered.
But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction.
There are probably no questions we can think up that can’ t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore there may well be limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.

答案
我唯一确信的科学事实是,我们对大自然一无所知。事实上,我认为这是过去百年来生物学的重大发现。客观来说,这是一条具有启发性的新闻。我们对18世纪启蒙运动的伟大思想家说,我们对自然界知之甚少,对前景也十分茫然,他们定会深感震惊。正是这种对无知领域的深度和广度的突然对抗,代表了20世纪科学对人类智力最重大的贡献。在早期,我们要么假装了解事情是如何运作的,要么忽略了问题,要么只是编造故事来填补空白。既然我们已经开始认真地探索,我们就会发现这些问题有多大,答案还有多遥远。 但是我们正在开始,应该有一些满足感。 也许在这个世界上没有问题是我们无法解答的,只是时间问题,甚至包括意识问题。诚然,可能有一些问题是我们永远无法想到的,因为可能受到人类智慧的限制,但这是另一回事。在我们的能力范围内,我们应该能够找到自己的方法来获得答案,只要我们坚持得够久,并且保持关注。
