Abstract

The Search for Knowledge. People seek to know the world by their unaided efforts. Indeed, people can find certain truth! The discovery of a cave or a mineral deposit yields "direct facts"...yet such accessible but fragmented knowledge is a letdown. It deflates our noble human ego! Surely people can do more than make lists of facts; we desire orderly connected knowledge about all reality: accessible and inaccessible. Inaccessible things implies such as history, things too small (atoms), and things too large (the cosmos of heavenly objects)...
