Gabriel, I think you misunderstood Mr. Li’s quote:
“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.”
Mr. Li said “existing physical environment” — this is the people around you and the way they think, as well as the world around you and the method of modern science that focuses on measurement, not experience. Your ideas will not be immediately accepted by others because they are threatened by the new paradigm. They won’t understand and appreciate what you are trying to do because it doesn’t fit into accepted wisdom and everything they think they know. Just look at Copernicus, Galileo and more currently anyone doing research on climate change that demonstrates the world is cooling. Some things just can’t be measured, like time-space in other dimensions, but you might be able to experience them in some way. Science hasn’t given a good answer what happens to a person after they die, for example.
If you are looking for the ultimate truth, it’s out there, but you’ll have to look somewhere besides science. I think that’s what Mr. Li is saying. Best regards….
