Re: Do you agree...
The essence, marrow and nitty-gritty of my argument is not contravening yours. what you have presented as your take is a response to a subsection that , seemingly, was conspicuous to you.
Indeed we had eyes, think about a world without eyes, and come up with an example whereby telescope, or anything like that was boosted as one evidence for the race, being talked about and presuming blind, went beyond the sense of sight. Of course science and technology are serving the human appetite to “know” more, but come to think of it, its just thriving development and addition to what we have accumulated as “knowledge base”. We all like to wear perfumes, which we would have not, if not blessed with the sense of smell otherwise.
We , sure, can think creatively if we can think of what we intend to be thinking about, our sight sets the limits to what we can pursue in this universe.
To draw a boundary one has to know the extent of the territory to encompass. But do we know haw far can human intellect push our sense's limits?
We had eyes, but now we have telescopes to explore the galaxy, and accelerators to explore nanoworld. Same goes with 4 other senses (btw I don't define a 6th sense): hence science has stretched human possibility to "sense" the world far beyond its 5 senses, and thus human knowledge has come far beyond the limits of our initial 5 senses (beyond ape intellect!). As knowledge bits are the stones of thoughts castles, we (scienctifically knowledgeable humans) have already overcome our senses.
But Einstein is just proving our intellect is not limited to 5 senses, human has this fantastic abiliity to think creatively! Quantic physics is not intuitive because it's far beyond our 5 senses experiences abilities. Yet it is possible to go further into this field. Rmember well that there no more difficult limits to overcome than those we believe in!
