The Importance of Recognizing the Limits of Our Ignorance
Carlo: The very possibility of knowledge to grow is rooted in giving up certainty as an ambition and accepting the idea that first of all there's so much we don't know.

He says Newton could understand so much well because he was smart because he was a tool because he was the right moment whatever but also because he was open to the idea that there's somuch that we don't known and we have to learn. Carlo believes science should be accepted by people who are intelligent, not just scientists.
