Number of words: 146<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some day, then, a point will be reached where the only unexplained features of this network of theories will be the elements of the scientific framework. Beyond that point, the theory will no longer be able to express its results in words, or in rational concepts, and will thus go beyond science. Instead of a bootstrap theory of nature, it will become a bootstrap vision of nature, transcending the realms of thought and language; leading out of science and into the world of acintya, the unthinkable. The knowledge contained in such a vision will be complete, but cannot be communicated in words. It will be the knowledge which Lao Tzu had in mind, more than two thousand years ago, when he said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He who knows does not speak, He who speaks does not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
