the universe became nothing but a mechanical thing to observe..
Newton reduced the universe to an equation, Einstein later as well
it destroyed all mystery..
The Native Americans and other indegenous groups with their knowledge systems and mythologies had the right idea, they let the universe be something that is too complex to be described by mathematics

ignorance is evil, pure and simple. Socrates understood this thousands of years ago.
no not really, there's still plenty of stuff out there to discover especially if the space age rolls around sooner or later
is it ignorance though
the ancient egyptians had a greater understanding of the universe than every man in that picture
This is exactly like people who claim there's no 'adventure' anymore. It's still there, you just can't be bothered with it, just as you wouldn't be bothered with it centuries ago.
???
>greater understanding than Einstein
>believed the sun was a living god
ok
no
Wew lad. There is still an incomprehensibly large amount of shit that is completely unknown.
for example many ancients already had an understanding of the universe beyond that of Einstein
hell Newton's Principia was already known int the Indian Vedas
Why shouldn't the sun be a god? There wouldn't be life on earth without the sun.
No. Every day each of us help unlock a little more of the mystery of God.
>the ancient egyptians had a greater understanding of the universe than every man in that picture
>he universe became nothing but a mechanical thing to observe..
That's what Einstein thought his whole fucking life while quantium mechanics (not your "mechanical thing to observe, mate) was pissing him off
So does every tree, why don't you kill yourself to give your godly tree sustenance
Sour, rancid bait
Why SHOULD the sun be a god? we wouldn't exist without water, without oxygen, without gravity, all those things are just as important as the sun so I fail to see your point.

>the universe became nothing but a mechanical thing to observe..
No, this isn't the 1800s anymore (though you wouldn't know it if you listen to pop science advocates)
Science can't address all questions.
>the ancient egyptians had a greater understanding of the universe than every man in that picture
Well, they understood things that definitely counted most.
There are as many mysteries as ever, you just need much higher education to understand them.
Take a course in epistemology or cosmology, either will correct your misconception.
i mean the egyptians had a understanding of general relativity before einstein
Science created mysteries.
lol
Do some entheogens. You'll realize that the universe is more fantastical than we can imagine.
It's incredible dumb to think that for instance medieval scholars didn't try to understand the universe and give it some sort of system with laws.
There's still a great deal of mystery, but you have to make an effort in order to see where these gaps in knowledge actually are.
The more we found out, the more we realise how much we still don't know.
No, but there is an entrenched orthodoxy with a predetermined conclusion of what the right and wrong answers are to scientific questions, and that's inherently unscientific.
And you can bet your ass they worshipped those things in ancient Egypt too, dummie.
youre full of shit op, and none of that is even accurate
newton didnt reduce anything to anything, ha took the meta out of physics so he could print the book, which is good because othervise he would have written a 'red book' of some sort
your notions of reality are naive and uninformed by experience
theres 99.999999999...% things left to discover, we dont even know where we didnt look yet or what half the things known actualy are operatively, we understand very little about realty, physics and biology pulled apart a lot of incrementaly smaller subsystems and now we know more than we did 5, 50 or 500 years ago mainly about how things work, today that development is hyperaccelerated, but that dosent help with the fact we dont realy understand a quarter of any of it, as in our understanding of it globaly both as individuals on average and especialy as cultures and economic/technological and political systems, is seriously lacking, to the point we dont realy know what were doing, or even are we doing anything or is it a process that is simply happening to us
realy were dealing with shere chaos in a sense that is more magical than scientific, and what realy manifests as the concrete conditions and objects were stuck with from moment is invisible to us, we think when we do something its usdoing it, when technology develops its a particular, segregated process of someone doing something - yes this is true at some level, but not realy on the whole
we only know about the 'universe' through our perceptions
we have no idea how perceptions work or where they come from
all physics does is model the regularity of our experiences
we really basically know nothing about anything
your problem is you probably see the universie like billaird balls knocking into eachother
you see the world like a naive realist
