:21:01
and it would be unwise to be
influenced by the fact that we base
:21:06
our decision upon the observations
of an unqualified layman.
:21:11
Every explorer may well envy
this pilot,
:21:16
his presence of mind,
his talents of observation.
:21:20
Moreover, given
the recent information,
:21:25
we are bound morally
to press forward with our probes.
:21:31
l can understand
how Professor Messenger feels,
:21:35
however let's look back
at the long road we've traveled.
:21:38
For all our work, the Solaris probes
are back where we began.
:21:44
Years of effort
have proven useless.
:21:51
All we know about Solaris
:21:56
reminds me of a mountain
of separate facts
:21:59
which we are unable to squeeze
into the framework of any conception.
:22:05
Well, we're even worse offtoday,
as regards the essential.
:22:10
Solaristics is degenerating.
:22:12
The essential question is far more
serious than just Solaristics.
:22:17
We're probing the very frontier
of human knowledge.
:22:21
By artificially establishing
a knowledge frontier,
:22:24
we limit our concept of
the infinity of man's knowledge.
:22:29
And if our movement is not forward,
do we not risk moving backward?
:22:37
What do you mean by saying
that the information supplied by me
:22:39
is in no way reflects the actual
facts?
:22:43
l saw all this with my own eyes.
:22:48
lt means
that some real phenomena
:22:52
could have triggered
your hallucinating.

it's very easy
