New Universe: Disclosure of Entirely New Universe in Next Decade:
"Since Earthians’ astronomical measurements have only been conducted for a few thousand years, and nine-tenths of the information has been accumulated in the last five centuries, to be conservative, we can say that 11,000 years exploration has brought in data covering 11 billion years.
"The ratio 11,000 - 1 clearly manifests a
11 billion 1 million
high-order experiential acceleration in the rate of information gaining. Thus we take not of how blacked really little we know and alert ourselves to the probability that the next decade will disclose what in effect must seem an entirely new Universe–so much more of the cosmically eternal a priori mystery will have been vouchsafed to us."
