Humans will never understand the universe

[brian334]

When humans try to understand the universe they produce junk science.
Humans should stick to observing the universe.

Humans should stick to observing the universe.

Restricted to the traditional 5 senses? Or do tools (electron microscopes, telescopes, particle accelerators, gravitational or even "non-physical" [plasma] lenses) also count? How about people who are clairvoyant/clairsentient/clairaudient -- does their perception also count or are there not enough of them yet to also belong to "humans"? Do "observations" have to be exactly the same for everyone, every time, everywhere? 

How about universes other than this one?  http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=6227.0

"Understanding" would usually only concern the mind -- maybe adding intuition, imagination, feeling, dreaming, etc., would help to "understand" better ("intuitively getting it")?

So the universe doesn't produce junk science? It came up with us, didn't it.

Trino,
You can use what ever tools you want to observe the universe, but your never going to understand the big picture.

[...] your never going to understand the big picture.

Maybe we all already do and only pretend we don't, because otherwise we wouldn't be able to discover and experience things at a pace that can be enjoyed and internalized to the fullest extent...
