The fact that we know of parts of the Universe around us that are invisible to us shows how amazing humanity is. The fact that we even know that (for example) ultraviolet light exists, and can then harness it is absolutely mindblowing. The fact that we have mapped the Universe, described it back and forth, defined, viewed and the manipulated the actual primordial building blocks of matter...

A lot of research I’ve done has been down conversion photoluminescense. It gets very complicated very quickly but it’s all theory. Up conversion photoluminescence being more interesting as you take a longer wavelength and converting it to a higher energy shorter wavelength photon. Essentially taking IR and turning it into visible or UV light. Why? Just theories, nothing is known 100%.
For how much we have done, there’s very little we actually know of science, the earth (including the ocean), and even our biological mechanisms. All theory. However it’s interesting that a bunch of weirdos from 100 years ago can lay out the basics of quantum mechanics and to this day have not been replaced. Schrödinger‘s equation is the basics for a lot of processes. So little we actually know.
There’s other constructs of mathematics that is applicable towards chemistry. We can theorize elements with n orbitals. Just on earth, we only get to play up to the f-orbitals….
