:21:03
and it would be unwise to be
influenced by the fact that we base
:21:09
our decision upon the observations
of an unqualified layman.
:21:13
Every explorer may well envy
this pilot,
:21:18
his presence of mind,
his talents of observation.
:21:23
Moreover, given
the recent information,
:21:27
we are bound morally
to press forward with our probes.
:21:33
l can understand
how Professor Messenger feels,
:21:37
however let's look back
at the long road we've traveled.
:21:40
For all our work, the Solaris probes
are back where we began.
:21:47
Years of effort
have proven useless.
:21:53
All we know about Solaris
:21:58
reminds me of a mountain
of separate facts
:22:01
which we are unable to squeeze
into the framework of any conception.
:22:07
Well, we're even worse offtoday,
as regards the essential.
:22:12
Solaristics is degenerating.
:22:14
The essential question is far more
serious than just Solaristics.
:22:19
We're probing the very frontier
of human knowledge.
:22:23
By artificially establishing
a knowledge frontier,
:22:26
we limit our concept of
the infinity of man's knowledge.
:22:31
And if our movement is not forward,
do we not risk moving backward?
:22:40
What do you mean by saying
that the information supplied by me
:22:42
is in no way reflects the actual
facts?
:22:45
l saw all this with my own eyes.
:22:50
lt means
that some real phenomena
:22:55
could have triggered
your hallucinating.

it's very easy
