Farnocchia, an astronomer, was under the immense task of tracking the most dangerous astroid ever to ensure that it would not hit earth in a few short years. When asked about the status of the astroid, he only responded that at the moment he doesn’t know. His philosophy was “I try to stress about the things I can control… All we can do is to explain what the situation is, and that we need new data to say more.”
If a man responsible for ensuring the world doesn’t end can respond with “I don’t know yet”, its okay for you to also admit this as well.
