Had a man not reasoned there was a force he could not comprehend at work and seek to define it we would have no equation for gravity. Not ALL men agreed with him that there was anything there to define...but he persisted untill he was victoriouse and all those in opposition, thinking him a fool, stood in awe.
NO, we can not define or quantify life or a soul...but there are men who believe a force exists and they persist in trying to define it. Perhaps one day one will perservere.
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe." A part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons
nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the
whole of nature in its beauty." -- Albert Einstein
"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure." -- Albert Einstein
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."--Albert Einstein
