New Frontiers

There are things in life that we understand
With our limited human insight
In time, our knowledge range may expand
And things, once obscure, may then come to light

Yet, this may point to other things obscure
Which our prior knowledge could not show
It seems that in the quest to discover
The more we find out, the less we know

Knowledge of things that seem mysterious
Also beyond human comprehension
Perhaps can only be made known to us
Through an act of direct intuition

Such things may possess a special beauty
That lies hidden within their very core
The unravelling of their secret mystery
May help us to understand Nature more

Things that are impenetrable to us
Have a most radiant beauty of their own
So said Albert Einstein, the genius
The greatest scientist the world has known






(To know that which is impenetrable to us, really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty – Albert Einstein)
