"What we know is a drop of water; what we don't know is an ocean." Isaac NewtonIt is strange that man, capable of sending satellites beyond the solar system, is sometimes unable to look beyond his own hubris. Strange that science, so brilliant at describing the visible universe, is so silent when it comes to the origin of order, the purpose of matter, or the meaning of life. For centuries, humanity has gazed at the sky with fascination, searching for answers.
Astronomy, physics, biology-all these disciplines have led to extraordinary advances. But they have also brought to light something more disturbing: a limit. This book is about this limit. What I call the wall of scientific knowledge. An invisible wall, but very real. He stands where science can no longer proceed without humility, where instruments no longer have any reach, where only consciousness can advance.
Einstein, far from being a mystic, nevertheless wrote:"Anyone seriously involved in science eventually understands that a Mind far superior to that of man manifests itself in the laws of the universe."Science, despite its wonders, comes up against this Higher Spirit, this Wall. A wall that it can only cross if it agrees to open a door: that of humility. The one that recognizes that, behind the beauty of the equations, there may be an Author.
