"I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts."
Albert Einstein
To move science forward we need to continue postulating new concepts which can be scientifically examined for value and promise. We are currently riding the waves of scientific insights gained during the latter part of the 19th century up and until the mid 20th century. Technological advances have enabled us to verify, gain enhanced understanding, or discard some of what the scientific postulates of that era were.
20th century technology has given us unprecedented computational power and extended our senses far beyond our biological limits (scientific instruments such as: visible light telescopes above earth atmosphere, X-Ray telescopes, Gamma-Ray telescopes, Infrared telescopes, Radio telescopes, Microscopes, Electron Microscopes, Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Particle Accelerators, Robotics, etc.)
And yet. All our current scientific insights only cover 1% + of what we currently consider makes up the universe we experience with all our technological powers.

New concepts... what fascinates me most is understanding gravity and why it exists... I think that could lead the human race into a new frontier of technology, advancement and understanding.
