Assumptions

I look at the stars, thinking there are mysteries about the Universe, yet to be uncovered, some knowledge that will make me stronger. But how much of this isn't an assumption? There is no reason to believe there is anything to know about the Universe, that I do not already know. If knowledge is to vanish with the dead and with rotten books, then is that knowledge necessary? How much more discomfort should there be, believing there is ignorance?
