Dear Reader,
This essay and multi-genre compilation explores the ideas surrounding the possibility of the universe existing in a manner so foreign and and disconnected with the ways that humans perceive and understand reality, that the differences are too great to span, preventing humans from reaching the theoretical pinnacle of scientific advancement and understanding. This may seem like a dire and altogether depressing topic, but it doesn't need to be that way! This project simply educates you about one of a number of possible interpretations of reality, and even if it's correct, the inability for a person to reach godlike intelligence hardly invalidates the idea of existential or altruistic fulfillment.
Each of the genres about this subject illustrates the events of the novel either from the blissfully ignorant perspective of the public, or the from the despairing perspective of those few who survived the harrowing events at The Mountains of Madness. Via reading the genres and the associated quotation, one can gain a better understanding of the motivations and fears of Dyer and Danforth, caught in unthinkable horrors, yet bound to silence for the good of humanity.
Thank you,
James Williamson
