The persistence of mystery
As cosmologists noodle the question of whether the known universe is all there is, or if parallel universes exist, or if there is other way of looking at things we haven’t yet thought of, they are continually pushing back the boundaries of knowledge. The boundaries of knowledge are also being pushed back as we learn more about the world through various scientific endeavors from the cosmic to the sub-atomic, and through continuing insights into human and social behavior. There’s a lot of knowledge out there and just in the nick of time we’ve invented digital storage, the Internet and the Web to help manage it all. We’re swimming in information and none of us will ever be able to truly absorb even a fraction of it.
Nevertheless, no matter how much knowledge expands, the basic mystery of existence still persists, that strange core of unknowing at the heart of everything.
