Since creating is the recreation…

The fifth element (Latin: quinta esentia) differs from the other four elements (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air).

“Science is a human construct. Scientific laws are as valid as our understanding at any particular moment. Scientific laws are not absolute. Scientific laws wear human colors. Regardless of how close we got to the truth, the scientific laws are still not 100% accurate and complete. If we do not possess absolute truth, then scientific laws cannot be final, or…
