This all goes back to the need many humans have to know the extent of the universe and everything in it. They want to KNOW. I, on the other hand, do not. I think that if we ever found all the things that were lost, if we ever got to the point where we could say, "These are the boundaries of the universe and here it all is," then this existence would be utterly boring.

That there are things which have been lost and will never be recovered, that there are things out there which will forever remain a mystery is GOOD. At least, that is how I feel.

This in no way means that I believe we should all return to the days of complete and utter ignorance. Far from it. I guess I simply feel that sometimes, certain members of the human race are far too concerned with turning everything into "fact" or being able to dismiss it as "fiction." I rather like my boundaries between the two being blurry and fuzzy.
