The unknown, understanding what are the challenges and horizons of human knowledge – said Boeri presenting the review – today at the center of all sciences. We often say that only five percent of the universe, ocean floor maps, brain synapses are known. Here, the great shocks of the first twenty years of the new millennium have made us realize that we have lost track of one hundred percent. We no longer know what the true limits of our species are on the planet. For this reason, the exploration of what we do not know that we do not know becomes central. And to cast a new gaze on the unknown – in a multidisciplinary journey that will unite art, sciences, imaginations – as main curators of the event, astrophysics were called. Ersilia Vaudo (Chief diversity officer to the European Space Agency), e Francis Kr, just awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize 2022, the most important recognition of the discipline.
