A bit of love for those topics that are deliciously beyond our grasp. Humility and awe are two things we could use a lot more of.

"The referents of terms such as #knowledge are #unknowable. They do not refer to
something we can clearly define, they are without any distinct referent. Remaining unthinkable as a whole, their referent can only be pictured in limited aspects and elements... They give unity not to many objects that can be grouped as a single type, but to many things of radically different natures."
—Andrew Milward, The Absent World
