No one who has understood even a fraction of what science has told us about the universe can fail to be in awe of both the cosmos and of science.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think my proper response is complete amazement and awe at the universe that we are in, and how it works is just far more complicated than humans will ever properly understand.
We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it.
The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.
It's an audacious thing to build a model of the cosmos. It's exciting how little we know.
One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
I get a sense that we've all been educated into one school of thought. I'm not surprised at all to find among the overwhelming majority of scientists, are people who would hold one particular view because that's all they're exposed to.
Even if I stumble on to the absolute truth of any aspect of the universe, I will not realise my luck and instead will spend my life trying to find flaws in this understanding - such is the role of a scientist.
There can sometimes be this fear among laypeople: 'I don't understand everything in science perfectly, so I just can't say anything about it.' I think it's good to know that we scientists are also confused some of the time.
Heisenberg, Max Plank and Einstein, they all agreed that science could not solve the mystery of the universe.
Thinking about the universe has now been handed over to specialists. The rest of us merely read about it.
