Of course I’m serious. How can a species that has not yet learned a fraction of the things there are to know bypass 99.9% of everything and suddenly claim the ultimate knowledge with a straight face?
We make discoveries daily. We do not suddenly know everything about them. Science, actual science, spends years learning about new discoveries and formulates questions along the way as it learns new things about the original discovery. Did Newton envision immediately think about Quantum gravity when the apple fell from the tree? He could not then even envision the concept to ask the question about.
Nor can we.
OK, let’s just say you’re right. But if you or I have any reason, the flip side is also true that we as a species are not capable of even formulating rational questions pertaining to ourselves. So the game is up. Either that or you and I are simply not on page one to even begin a conversation.
(I’m rather convinced that Socrates. Plus I believe love isn’t an illusion.)
Well, he envisioned gravity, and insofar as gravity may have a quantum nature, this was part of his vision, however inchoate. ( I love that word. )
