The philosophy of the uncertainty principle of perfection and knowledge.

A grow in knowledge results in disturbed perfection. Almost everything looks simple and perfect on the first view, but as soon as one looks into the details, it gets more complex and asymmetric.

The philosophy of the uncertainty principle of perfection and knowledge

The background changing from dark to bright as a symbol for knowledge.

If we know nothing, this is similar as to have no visual, aural abilities. We have to search in our own darkness to survive somehow. We have a simple, but wrong image of our world. We have to explore anyway to get a little bit more familiar with it. The things get more complex and many do not want to see what the new knowledge provides, because it does not look so simple and inviting than the previous wrong images. Things seem to get worse, but this is an illusion of the simple minded, going back means only a return to our own complete and cold darkness.

A circle as a symbol of perfection

The impression of perfection gets disturbed like the circle. The circle is distorted to an ellipse and vanishes when the knowledge gets brighter. Maybe later, with even more knowledge the perfection may rise again like a phoenix from ash, and everything restarts again.
