Year 1: Natural Mysteries

Excerpt from essay on famous quotes:

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the Mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science."
--Albert Einstein

"What a beautiful thought from a brilliant mind. If anyone knew about art and science it was him. If anyone ever stood a chance of solving the great mysteries he could have.

Albert Einstein made this very simple statement to prove a very profound point. Without the mysteries of life there would be no inspiration for art and no reason for science to exist. It is the mysteries that drive us to create and destroy.

I can not imagine a world without mysteries. In fact, I believe the reason that human kind has created so many myths and religions was out of the fear that we would be without mystery some day. As science advances we lose a little bit of mystery everyday. Therefore, we create new mysteries to be solve. For every answer given there are two that take it’s place."
