Abstract

In this essay, I outline 5 aspects that indicate a great mystery that pervades the universe. These mysteries are as such because no further knowledge can be gained which would explain them once and for all, in the way that accruing knowledge might dispel a false notion. They are insoluble and sit at the base of what we can know, a limit point to what can be grasped, but awareness of them, is at least the solid vessel within which knowledge can be poured metaphorically speaking, though in themselves not solid, as one can only but be aware of them and not grasp them as one would a cup. Nevertheless, recognition of our limits is the first step to gaining knowledge with the feelings of awe and wonder. This leads to humility, which is necessary to stave off the arrogance of human achievement and know-how.
