The Limits of Knowledge
Manage episode 361259093 series 2362578
Sometimes when we are talking about consciousness in the universe and things like the Observer Effect in Quantum Physics, there arises the temptation to think that our consciousness is somehow as powerful as the source of creation and that we can eventually know everything. That kind of hubris is very dangerous because it denies the Mystery of creation. As Kurt Gödel proved, there will never be a complete and consistent description of the universe using mathematical logic. Plus, as researchers in Quantum Physics have discovered, there seems to be a trickster intelligence waiting for us if we get too close to complete knowledge.
