Features: Modern civilization is often fanatically eager to delve deeper into the material universe and further control it, which gradually makes us lose our sense of beauty and simplicity. Therefore, when it reveals itself, this simplicity and sense of beauty often shock and terrify us. The modern concept we call "science" has become devoid of poetry and no longer seems connected to the threads that weave the fabric of life. Worse still, today's science is linked to business, yet business turns a blind eye to these matters, leaving us in a world where "the blind are leading the blind." As if that weren't enough, today's preachers of science also try to tell us which cosmology is right and which is wrong; some questions are no longer being asked, let alone answered.
