Cource, since he wrote that we have developed many more than 5 senses. So now the open question is can we invent tools to tell us all there is to know in the universe. But if we learn ever thing about the universe, what's outside our universe?

Therefore, "pure reason" can never tell us all about the universe. No doubt the scientific method has resulted in great advances in quality of life issues, but its emphasis on empirical evidence has left us with a void in our understanding of the truly important things in the universe. I attend monthly meetings of a group of "learned mystics", I suppose you would call them, many with advanced scientific degrees, whose discussions often move into metaphysical matters. Some of the most interesting life experience stories come from a federal judge, whose honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. His feeling is that some of the most profound experiences in his life came from unexplainable, unquantifiable sources, a viewpoint that many in attendance share. I hear (and tell) stories that few in the group would feel comfortable telling to a lay audience.
