Is it?

in silos
living and dying
death of humans
death of ideas
death of thought
death of a discipline
there is no stopping
knowledge
it flows
in institutes
and universities
out of them
and into
many a times
without
through teachers
and students
and those
who aren't
called either
then and now
and forever
sometimes
it gets
documented
other times
it's lost
once in
a while
it takes
us forward
it adds
and takes
us to
the answer
is it
still 42?
