A Holiday Miracle for Type 1 Diabetes Patients?
Type 1 diabetes is a devastating disease for which there has never been a cure. Until now?
Scientists are fond of reflecting on the many great as-yet unanswered questions of humanity.
They certainly have a point.
Woven within our collective scientific knowledge, throughout the historical record, even in our understanding of human anatomy, there are holes big enough to admit a Boeing 747.
As the century turns, or at some other centennial mark, a Greek chorus routinely emerges, a scientific consensus of confident predictions about what can be known, what might soon be known, what will never be known, and “What Remains to Be Discovered.”
There are still so many unsolved mysteries in science. Quantum physicists are even now eagerly looking for the TOE, the great unifying Theory of Everything which will explain why the physical laws governing large objects- Newtonian physics- seem to be at odds with the laws governing very small objects- quantum physics.
Quantum particles seem, according to the foremost mystified authorities, to be demonstrably capable of faster than light communication- which Newtonian physics stubbornly insists is impossible.
