He indicates that such knowledge could be so profound that it would represent a significant development in science, a "veritable discontinuity" in the development of science. This recommends that the knowledge got might be so significant that it would trigger a significant shift in the method science is comprehended and practiced. It could result in brand-new discoveries and theories that would change the way we consider the world.
