Epiphanies

    When we have an epiphany, we start to entertain the possibility, perhaps for the first time, that our way is not the only way, that what seemed self-evident and factual is really value-laden and subjective. All the greatest discoveries in history have been made this way. The scientific breakthroughs and technological inventions that changed the world can call be traced back to an epiphany. The earth was unquestionably flat until Copernicus had the courage to imagine it round. Time and space were undoubtedly fixed until Einstein had the insight that they are relative.
