the means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. we have guided missiles and misguided men.

Space and Duration ARE ONE.
That the Universe might endure throughout an era at all
commensurate with the grandeur of its component material
portions...it was required...that the stars should be gathered into visibility from invisible nebulosity....and
so grow grey in giving birth and death to unspeakably numerous and complex variations of vitalic development---
it was required that the stars should do this---
during the period in which all things were effecting their
return into Unity with the velocity accumulating in the inverse proportion of the squares of the distances at which
lay the inevitable end.

~Eureka,
Edgar Allen Poe
1846----> sixty years before Einstein's theory of relativity of which space and time are of the same continuum and over a full century before the 'discovery' of the expanding universe by astrophysicists.
