Kindly comment and rate my issue.. ----------------------------- As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious. -------------------------
Human kind has been blessed with ultimate capability to think beyond the imagination. And human brain is untiring machine that keeps processing of knowledge in and out continuously. Knowledge is a mental process of analyzing, evaluating and understanding different aspects of every little thing around human being. This characteristic of human brain helps us to solve many problems, but sometimes it arises pompous and complicated issues.
Our earth is a treasure of so many perplexing things and subjects. Complexity of any mysterious subjects can merely be solved with superficial analyses, hence for complete understanding of fundamentals of any subjects, one have to dive deeply into its intricacies. And the process of acquiring complete details makes things more complicated rather than easy and manageable. Any higher level study of any subject will open numerous perceptive views to see at particular things, consequently human brain starts asking questions for new mysteries of that subject though it acquires more knowledge than it had before. Human brain has insatiable urge to gain knowledge, and to sate its appetite one we delve more into any subject. This only creates complextiy in our mind rather than reaching to any final conclusion for the subjects.
Considering some examples to vindicate the fact stated above, take an example of earth. We used to believe that earth is surrounded by only nine planets, with advancement of celestial studies, we found two more planets that moves around our globe. Moreover, decades ago, people had scanty information about dimensions and structure of universe, now we have understood that mystery of universe is endless and every year we come up with new inevitable theory that contradicts with older ones. Thus, one can understand, more human tries to solve mystery of universe, more we got entangled into the complexities of universe.
Take an instance of continuously changing nature of atomic theory to buttress the abovementioned fact. The atom was primarily considered as prime indivisible particle, with more experiments in the field three new particles were invented; proton, neutron and electron. Research is still going on, and scientist are having positive results of existence of another particle called positron in the atom, which is likely to change the whole structure of atom again. Various theory came up to explain atomic theories, from Dalton's theory to Boh'r theory, but yet final structure of atom is undefined. Apparently, it strengthens authors claim that as we acquire more knowledge, things get complicated and mysterious.
In summation, excess of knowledge in any field increases its complexity rather than waneing the mystery of the subject. Process of finding the universal truth is never ending as universe is a sea of mysteries. Every new theory belies the fact we had once in our mind, and hence we end up hazy and uncertain conclusions. Hitherto, we have deciphered lots of problems, yet remains lot more of to explore. Unfortunately, new things will ceaselessly continue to come up and will surely pave a way towards new era of research and technology. |
