Measuring the Infinite – A Journey Beyond the Limits of Western 'Science'

Translated by Romito Anacoreta

Western science measures objects.

Any kind of object.

From the tiniest particles to the vastest galaxies.

Through this measuring, Western science seeks to discover patterns, universal laws that are valid always and everywhere.

But there’s just one small problem.

Objects are infinite.

The universe is infinite.

And how could the universe ever be considered finite ?

Compared to what ?

By science’s own definition, what is infinite is immeasurable.

Measuring it makes no sense.

All the scientific laws formulated so far barely explain 5% of visible matter and energy.

And for millennia, science has searched for the boundaries, the external and internal limits of everything we can perceive.

But how can you hope to find rules or limits in something that has no end ?

How can you think of defining laws in relation to something that is eternally changing, where all possibilities are already present, already given ?

Research on an infinite object can only be infinite itself.

So how else can we call all this, if not simply

Illusion, Dream, Ignorance ?

Why not change Your point of view ?

Why not change the observed object ?

Look within.

Look at Your Self.

Because You, who profess the desire and the ability to perceive the infinitely small and the infinitely large,

You don't even seem capable of discerning your own dreams.
