Turner and the Cayman Trough

A.C. Grayling, Where no one has gone before, in the August 23, 2008 edition of the Spectator on the excitement of exploration and imagination.
As Turner saw, a society that explores is in little danger of becoming stale. That applies to a society's collective intelligence as well as its scientific muscle: they both need to be challenged and exercised. Like all front-line science, the Autosub6000 project is good news because it takes us to a genuine frontier, with all the promise it offers.
