Excerpt from Ideas From Nature, Talks With Students
Physical science affirms that the sensible universe is made up of matter and energy alone. The saying is unquestionably true of the sensible universe; eye and ear and the other bodily avenues through which knowledge flows in upon us, confirm the existence of these alone - matter, the material of which all bodies consist; energy, the mysterious cause of changes in matter, called the phenomena of nature.
But physical science does not affirm that the universe contains nothing beyond these. It studies that which appears in nature with the senses as its instruments, and reports truthfully the grand results of its search; but it gives no reason for concluding that other realities may not exist beyond its proper field of investigation.
