Sentiment: POSITIVE
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can't see the whole electromagnetic spectrum; we can't see the very small; we can't see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the micro-sphere.
We are now able to put our minds in other places in the universe with the use of telescopes. That is very exciting.
Epistemology has always been affected by technologies like the telescope and the microscope, things that have created a radical shift in how we sense physical reality.

I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.
Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
Optics, developing in us through study, teach us to see.
