"universe is also ancient, why are we still exploring it, by calling such a process as science" ?

The answer is simple. "Human Thirst for knowledge never ends" and nobody really knows for sure where they are headed.

"The present" which we feel really proud of, will be called ancient and worthless in the future. Because, the knowledge of humans increases with time (or understanding of nature increases with generations, some become dumb over time as well)

"The future" few people have envisioned it (saints in ancient form - who didn't expect anything from anybody but wanted to spread the knowledge, "visionaries" in the current business world - who want to rule the world with money, etc)

"stand the test time" just because they are not accessible doesn't mean they didnt' stand the test time. We keep discovering the same things whichever has been told in the past and the same things will happen in future as well. Its just that we love to call it with different names.

Someone has to connect the dots. Nobody has time in the current world. Everyone just moves on.
