I agree with you in a sense. My reservation continues to rest in my sense of puzzlement over your certainty in having acquired some knowledge superior to the (admittedly) incomplete consensus of Science? I mean, we can both agree that human efforts are limited and we can have some compassion over our frailties and shortcomings. And surely we can have empathy for any scientist (at least those whom recognise their insufficiencies) over their empirical ceilings. But to whom shall one with complete knowledge derived from some paranormal facility turn for compassion? And who shall question or probe such knowledge to test it for accuracy or completeness?? Because if scientific knowledge is inherently informed opinion...then with what degree of certainty can we wrap knowledge which is not based on observation, experimentation, and falsifiability??

Rogue planets indicate not much more mystery really than a rogue iceberg , certainly interesting but not sure what science has missed here in the implications ? Certainly the discovery of Black Holes, quasars , super novii & accelerated universal expansion has given them plenty of new room for discovery & theory which shows complete openess to understanding major cosmological shifting truths . One of the most common ideas we see reflected in nature at all times are those beautiful striking examples of symmetry , perhaps in some hidden cosmological sense there is an explanation that restores & explains all in some fabulous symmetry . Dark energy & matter , antimatter , quantum froth in empty space lots of intriguing things yet to fit into the puzzles of great & small .
