All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” : Lord Kelvin Abstract: General public regards science as a beautiful truth. But it is absolutely-absolutely false. Science has fatal limitations. The whole the scientific community is ignorant about it. It is strange that scientists are not raising the issues. Science means truth, and scientists are proponents of the truth. But they are teaching incorrect ideas to children (upcoming scientists) in schools /colleges etc. One who will raise the issue will face unprecedented initial criticism. Anyone can read the book and find out the truth. It is open to everyone. [Manjunath R. Beyond Einstein and Newton: A Scientific Odyssey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, And The Cosmos.

And it's our main ingredient for understanding − a means of accepting what we've learned, challenging what we (a hoard of talking monkeys who’s consciousness is from a collection of connected neurons − hammering away on typewriters and by pure chance eventually ranging the values for the (fundamental) numbers that would allow the development of any form of intelligent life) think, and knowing that in some of the things that we think, there may be something to modify and to change.

Moreover, the very expression “certainly proven” is a contradiction in terms. There’s nothing that is certainly proven. The deep core of science is the deep awareness that we have wrong ideas, we have misinterpretations. And the fact that we human beings − who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles in a truly elegant fashion — still facing with the question: “What is truth,” or rather “who is Truth?” — have been able to live with doubt and uncertainty. We think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be false.

With our limited brains and tiny such as, if the big bang was perfectly symmetrical, and knowledge, we cannot hope to have a complete picture then we should expect equal amounts of matter and of unlimited speculating about the gigantic universe antimatter to be formed. In other words, if matter and we live in. antimatter can be made or destroyed only in matching amounts, and the laws of physics are exactly same for the both, then how can it be that the universe contains so much matter but so little antimatter? So why do we now see only matter except for the tiny amounts of antimatter that we make in the lab and observe in cosmic rays? Is that the original big bang was not perfectly symmetrical at all? We Humans, a curious species, are accustomed into an inquisition. The question is not ‘do we know everything from the triumph of the Higgs boson to the underlying discomfort of multiverses?’ or it is ‘do we know enough?’ But how perfectly we know about We understand the things we see things?
