Our mind is staggered by the immensity of the infinite universe, and a discovery that is so vast, beyond ordinary human power of understanding. There is war, no peace, in the world of the learned. The universe cannot be known by our senses, but only by our mind as an idea or an imagination because it is infinite. Some things exceed even the power of imagination.
