Stockholm, like two friends walking together for a while before separating, the moon and the big planet whose name I really should know. Not so long ago many people beleived that the sky was kind of a roof spread out, and that stars and planets were small gaps making light from Heaven visible for us human beings. When my daughter was five she asked "how can the sky keep in balance?".
Now we know better. There is no flat ceiling up there, and the sky cannot tip and fall down.
Knowledge theory is about human logics as a tool to understand the world by perception, with our senses. The properties of the smallest phsyiological particles as well as the creation and development of universe. And whatever will be beyond the smallest particle, known today, and beyond the universe, still further away in space and time.
But beyond logics, science is not able to act. It's prisoned by what is measurable and by our brains working with logics built on language. For thousands of years people have put their faces upwards, regarding the great picture of sky by night, wondering why we live and why everything is there. And we will keep on wondering.
