I understand what you're saying.

I just wish I could be alive when we can explore further into the unkown. Any knowledge on this topic fascinates me so much. Thank you again for that icing on the cake analogy. May you have a wonderful day.

First off, I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic but always have trouble understanding how we can confirm things like age of the universe etc.. so forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions.

Your analogy is the first time I've been able to somewhat understand so thanks for that but to follow up, how can we know how much of this "icing" was there to start with in order to accurately tell the age? (Is the icing the cosmic radiation?)

Follow up question. Why do we confrm and deny things based on our limited knowledge? Who's to say that things don't work differently out there in the distant universe? I have trouble thinking that the far universe and even other planets work according to the same laws as we know.
