the more we know, the less we understand?

Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness:

Once upon a time there was bearded G-d who made a small, flat earth, and pasted it in the very middle of the sky so that human beings would be at the center of everything. Then physics came along and complicated the picture with big bangs, quarks, branes, and superstrings, and the payoff for all that critical analysis is that now, several hundred years later, most people have no idea where they are.

Albert Einstein quoted in the The New York Times:

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.
