I guess that's the meaning of life: living it without knowing what it actually is (in a fundamental level). General relativity, arts, quantum mechanics, religion, philosophy, informatics, or what not can take us just so far, but not more. I appreciate science because it allows me to post on HN and get vaccinated. I appreciate philosophy because it fulfils my soul. I appreciate religion because it works for my parents. But we are limited in what we can understand. If we believe that with our human tools we can ever discover the true meaning of everything (not just our universe), then we think too much of ourselves.
