...against them in some fields. But I believe there is still room for science, even on its grandest scale, that awe-inspiring discoveries will continue to be made over this millennium.

Our brains did not evolve to help us grasp really large numbers or to look at things in a hundred thousand dimensions." Sounds reasonable, except when you consider that it could be similarly said that our brains didn't evolve...
