Explaining the Unexplainable

10/13/2014

This webpage on Nautilus Magazine's mobile site discusses the pursuit of understanding and explaining the unexplainable aspects of the world. It touches on various scientific and philosophical topics, including the limits of human knowledge and the role of science in trying to illuminate mysteries. The article also explores the concept of 'emergence,' where complex phenomena emerge from simpler components, and how this contributes to our struggles in comprehending certain phenomena. It ultimately emphasizes the importance of curiosity and the endless pursuit of knowledge, even in the face of the seemingly unexplainable.
