Reflection

undefined

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

— Albert Einstein

Why this matters:

Mystery is not a wall that stops our progress, but the very horizon that invites it. For Einstein, the peak of human intelligence is the humble recognition that the universe is far more vast than our current ability to perceive it, making awe the ultimate cognitive achievement.
