I often wonder why old religious books offer no clues to future generations about the structure of the material world. Nor are there any clues in the books of mystics who were in contact with other dimensions. There are predictions about the future and past of specific individuals, but no clear predictions about future discoveries in cosmology.
I don't want to think that our material world is some kind of matrix and the real world is somewhere else. I don't want to think that we're just characters in some game.
