What is knowledge?
From time immemorial, man is in search of nature of universe and true nature of knowledge.
Religion -
Religions have developed based on the hypothesis and conceptual visualisation of universe and life on earth. Still, the science is not satisfied by the explanations given by religions about origin of universe, life and its relation to pas, present and future. Religion gets accepted by mind as a comfort zone.
Pursuit of religion helped human race to develop sustainable social communities which could progress in humanity and welfare efforts without wandering in vain for searching true nature of universe.
Science -
Science is exploring nature of universe within strict frame of cause-effect relationship and has developed many theories about matter, energy, motion and life evolution patterns. However, the entire building of science is based on arbitrary axioms which are presumed to be true and not explainable with logical reasoning. Science is acceptable to intelligence as it satisfies logical thinking.
Pursuit of science helped human being to develop technology with integration of matter and energy based on extension, extrapolation and combination of basic scientific and logical rules.
Information Technology
In today's world of information technology, even though materials are getting controlled by information processing, we do not know the nature of information. Numbers and letters are the tiny basic units of information which can be manipulated to store any kind of information in databanks. We measure information in terms of memory units. Computing engines are developed to handle large amount of complex and ever changing data, storages on variety of devices, servers and on cloud platform are constantly becoming more efficient with reduction in size of storage medium, but nobody has tried to tried to visualise the existence of memory as an entity. Is it matter or energy?
Memory storage requires materials and energy, but we cannot tell what minimum space will be required to store one byte, one kilobyte, one megabyte or several terabytes. We also cannot measure in energy units. It is entirely different than space and time? Then what is it>
Even all numbers, mathematical functions, languages, literature and even visual and audio clips do not occupy any space or time.
Bioinformatics
A new branch of science got evolved through combination of molecular biology and information technology, which started exploring the memory storage patterns in chromosome sequences. The theories are evolved about the location of memory or characteristics and various models are developed to trace the history of life evolution. But the quantum of memory could not be defined without reference to medium of storage.
Mind and Brain
The stored memory in the brain, similarly, cannot be pinned down to quantum of matter or energy in itself though we can identify region of memory storage. Mind is again a distant concept to understand and explain by science or religion.
I feel that religion and science both are creations of mind and intelligence and are incapable of understanding true nature of knowledge.
