I’m curious what your take is on the finite nature of Science. I imagine the fractal “edge” will always remain illusive, but when do we hit 98% or 99.999% documented confirmed, distilled, and well explained? (Centuries? Millennia?) When does it become an engineering corpus?
(thinking of SciFi futurism as a much needed pick-me-up rn, please be kind)
Oh well, you should ask how long does dark age last instead. And it is far from over, many countries in the world embrace ignorance and conformity.
