"The universe is there to make you humble," says [pysicist Chris] Impey. "When I go observing I’m ready to be surprised. I don’t always figure we’re at the answers, or around the corner from the answers."Impey uses a word which I have emphasized for years on these threads. Humility, however, although a staple of scientific thought until, say, Einstein's death in 1955, is almost never discernible among today's hardcore materialists, either here on FR or in the wider scientific community. They actually think they know it all.
Yes, is it not amazing how far out in left field science will go to avoid our inability to think any higher than mere mortal man? Humility is the perfect word, yes.
