Truth Tellers!
or sellers of gimmicks?
Is science a Witness
or an enterprise?

We put on the costumes of knowledge and proof
We advertise Einstein’s Circle
as it continues to grow.

But so does what we don’t know

And while the Science of science is being refined
Everything we want to prove
Is just beyond our reach.


I hope it stays there.

I agree these supposely brainy idiots whom think earthy knowlede is
thier key

have you ever heard the story about "Einstein's Circle" that i am
referring to in the poem?

was'nt that agroup of sciencist that talk about science and other things

that's something different, but not far off the topic...


Einstein used to start out some of his lectures by drawing a small
circle on the blackboard. He would say that the inside of the circle
represented what was known about the universe and the outside
represented what we didn't know. So the circumference of the circle
would be that mysterious border between what we know and don't know.
Einstein was always quick to point out that no matter how large the
circle grew, the circumference always gets bigger as well. So the more
knowledge we collect, the larger the border is between what we know and
what we don't know.

I have always found it inspiring. The most brilliant man who lived was
well aware of the limitations of empirical knowledge.

I did not know that, that is cool he was a very spiritual man too from
what I been told

Good point Ely

The circumference of that circle is the thin viel that seperates us from
what we know and the unseen.

Which some call God.

And yet what we know is contained withing that same unseen as a yolk is
contained within the egg yet the egg is in the hand of the farmer.
