All serious and deep spiritual teachings always have one and the same problem: they are very difficult to summarize. It’s an advantage to have an extensive picture of the world, richness of details and nuances, a system of principles related to human life, etc. However, this advantage sometimes turns into a disadvantage for some people. They are simply intimidated by… Continue reading "In broad strokes"
Among the questions that modern science seeks to resolve is this one: Is our Universe a closed system or not? Simply put, does it have boundaries, or is it infinite?
