What Is Knowledge?
The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility …
The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle.
Einstein
What we can *know*
is confined
by our ability to imagine
realities
in the universe
that can be translated
into our narrow
symbolic thought
Part of a draft of a letter by Galileo in which he described the power of his new telescope. In these drawings he noted what he observed when he first looked through the telescope at Jupiter and was able to see its four moons.
