Well, the world is not beautiful. It just is. Claiming that physics or neuroscience is beautiful is just trying to take the place of the mystic. Science only gives you the tools to know when you're wrong. It is not some revelatory cult that you join to be one with the world in a mystical union of knowledge and wisdom. Or whatever. You are either a scientist, and live in the perpetual darkness of never knowing anything for sure, only occasionally pierced by a pale ray of weak light of uncertain knowledge; or in the land of the mystics who conquer the god-given truth with their every breath. Make your choice. And stop bragging for dog's sake. We haven't got a clue how the world works. And we are busy destroying it so fast we'll never know.
