Knowability - Crumbling the wall of ego
Regarding all that is in the heavens, man grasps nothing
but a small measure of what is mathematical (RAMBAM)

The laws of nature are a function of time,
in the sense that the state of the universe
at any particular time depends on its
earlier states.
However, says Maimonides, it is an error
to
" draw an
inference from the nature of a thing that has achieved actually
it its nature when it was only in potentia"
(GTP).
Consequently,
"we declare against him [Aristotle] that this nature,
after it has achieved stability and perfection
does not resemble in anything of
the state it was in while in the state of
being generated, and that it was brought into
existence from absolute non-existence."
