Really? The key presumption of science involves attaining proof of something unknown. So how many unknowns are we looking at here that it would dissuade science from exploring them all?

Or is there some new line of quantum enviromentalism which allows for pollution to both exist and yet simply have no effect, as long as we don't try to observe it, and if we let the cat out of the box.
