In the 1800's it was a known fact (when railroads were just coming into their own) that a human being could not survive the ungodly speed of 60mph...In the 1900's it was believed that the speed of sound could not be exceeded by any efforts of man.....Or to put it in more modern terms, As K was telling his new partner. 300 years ago, everyone knew that the earth was flat...100 years ago everyone knew...(the rest of the speil)....just imangine what you will know 15 minutes from now.
It is impossible to know what it is that you do not know, untill someone points it out to you.
