<Sure there are plenty of things for the next generations to discover, but there are fewer things unknown than there were in the past.>

That IS stating the obvious. That doesn't mean we don't become aware of whole new mysteries as reveal themselves in the quest to understand our world. The "under-sea world of Jaques Cousteau" comes to mind... as does the topic at hand.

<it's not the case that we are finding whole new avenues of the unknown.>

Maybe not aveneus... but Oceans, various systems in space, and the insides of cells! Diving suits, better telescopes, and electron microscopes are marvelous tools. :)

Come to think of it, your 'avenue' analogy just may be the perfect one to make your statement 100% wrong?? -ggg-

"By systematic study the mysteries of this universe are becoming understood, it's not the case that we are finding whole new avenues of the unknown"

But much of humanity is superstitious and ignorant and could scarcely survive if left alone...
