Greetings Everybody.

*Mods: I'm not too sure if this should be in the science thread or not, I'll let you decide and please change as necessary.*

I seem to be quite contemplative of late.

Though we can represent the vastness of the Universe do you think that we still can not truly comprehend the enormity of it all ?..that we ...as just mere humans just do not have the capacity to imagine such a thing ?....despite our ability to represent the distances with symbols ! ?


*So is this a post about the vastness of the universe or the capacity of the human mind to understand our own reasoning of it ?*

An interesting point, WDM.

I think on a purely rational and logical basis, I doubt that scientists will ever be able to fully comprehend the vastness of the Universe. I don't really have any conclusive evidence to back this up, it's just a gut feeling. Through personal experience, it seems to me that the more intuitive part of the brain can receive 'impressions' of immense abstract concepts that the logical mind would not be able to conceive.

Have you ever sometimes just *realised* something and knew it to be true with absolute certainty, yet never known how you got there in the first place? This is the power of the intuitive brain, that part of the consciousness which is able to receive profound 'impressions' of concepts without reasoning. It's essentially, knowing without learning.
