Robyn E Lebron Knowledge of an object thus differentiates and identifies it among other objects It tells an object apart from other objects in the world Knowledge of gross objects is associated with certainty, whereas knowledge of the subtle is associated with uncertainty The higher the degree of subtlety, the higher the degree of uncertainty of the knowledge about it It is seen in nature that the invisible energy or material cause of an object of sense perception is subtle The knowledge of the object is certain whereas that of the cause is uncertain to a degree The higher the degree of subtlety of the cause, the higher the degree of uncertainty attached to its knowledge One can say that uncertainty underlies certainty It is paradoxical, but that is the nature of existence If we want to understand existence, we must learn to work with paradoxes of this kind Unknowability of the Infinite and the Infinitesimal Let’s revisit some concepts The infinite and the infinitesimal are not knowable because: Name: Name identifies an object; the infinite and the infinitesimal are not identifiable Name defines an object and excludes it from being anything else We cannot define the infinite and the infinitesimal and exclude it from being anything else because it is everything and there is nothing else It really cannot be named with any specific names and yet it can be named numerously with all the names imaginable in an attempt to identify it Form: The infinite and the infinitesimal have no form of its own but all forms emerge from it, just as energy is imper28
