A post on Overcoming Bias about the attitude that “science doesn’t know anything about phenomenen X”.
While I don’t think the example of spacetime curvature as an explanation of gravity is well chosen (after all, this just raises a lot of further questions), the post is well worth the read.

Overcoming Bias: No One Knows What Science Doesn’t Know

In the context I may also recommend this book:
“Fear of Knowledge: Against Relativism and Constructivism” by the eminent philosopher Paul Boghossian

This should be required reading for all post-modernists.
