The Threshold of Ignorance

scientists to particle-substances such as quarks (substances estimated at three hundred thousand times smaller than the proton or neutron-whether super or normal), and strings (active substances estimated at 2-3 million times smaller than quarks- whether straight or in a lock), we are at the threshold of the unknown. What is beyond the Wall of Max Planck remains conjectural imaginary hypotheses. If an M-Theory or an All-Theory, e.g. Theory of Strings (that claims to explain everything) prescribes the elemental constituents of the universe from micro to macro dimensions, we are faced here with uncertainty since there is no evidence but merely acceptance or rejection, as in the Big Bang or Black holes and multiple or parallel universe hypotheses. The enigmatic presence and origin of the atom itself as well as the first carbon particle (dated back to 4.2-3.7 billion years) remains a mystery pending solution.

Symbolism

We consider in this study that the term symbolism refers to the representation of our minds of a thing in sign. A sign can be a sound as well as a line or a colour a letter or a character, a term or a number, or any other denotative representative indicator that can refer to an object, a thing or a phenomenon.

Scientific language uses letters and numbers to denote the sensible world as well as the intelligible. A mathematician uses numbers and signs to communicate his ideas. A painter uses line and colour and a musician uses music notes and sounds.

Our consciousness of the sensible is presented through ideas which are in turn expressed into terms or numbers and letters and can be expressed in line and colour and sounds.

Our conception of an object can be represented in linguistic terms
