A thought from Mr. Li Hongzhi on why we shouldn’t believe science is the ultimate truth:
“Many people have thus formed a fixed notion (about science). If people of previous generations set
forth certain laws and doctrines, such as Einstein’s theory of relativity, people then regard
them as the pinnacle of science. People’s thinking in later generations is then confined
within these things, and if someone dares to think higher or intends to go beyond them in
his research, immediately there will be people who say, “Can you really surpass
Einstein?” Why is that? The existing physical environment of modern empirical science
is restraining people. If a truly accomplished scientist exceeds the insights of previous
generations, he will find that although the previous generations’ insights are true and
correct within their domain, once someone surpasses them he will discover that they are
not true per se, and in fact serve to limit people. A truly accomplished person who thinks
for himself will dare to break through them. You will have truly accomplished something
when you break through the conventions set by others.”
