exists some object, some collection of parts that would be of interest, that will never be discovered nor incorporated in any way into human knowledge. It will still exist, whether it be a star or an asteroid or a spec of dust that fights entropy with a perfectly cubic shape, but it will not enter the consciousness of any person. Knowing this fact, should we endeavor to discover? Is the value of the action related to the impossibility of its full realization? One line of thinking may say it becomes irrelevant. Why effort the search of all things if all things cannot be found? Yet, another claims it validates the effort. Were we able to find all things in time, then why bother to discover. Eventually it will all be found. Thus, in negation, if not all can be found then it follows that the attempt never ends, valuing the process.
In the end: "why does it matter at all?" for I was never to be an explorer anyways.
