I can't quite remember what it is, but it is said that artists and people prone to creative outlets have a larger portion of certain section in their brain than those who aren't very creative . . . and Einstein himself had one of the largest portions ever recorded. Or so I heard.

What I want to know, is the quest for TRUTH encompassing all truths?

In other words, does one need to understand all of the subjects in order to understand the object?!

One would argue, that yes indeed. In our quest for TRUTH, do we not need to seek out all the truths first?!

But I am of the mind that this is not necessarily the case. For example, take a number. Let's take the number 5. Now, what is 5? Well, it's a positive integer between the number 4 and the number 6. It's also 2 numbers after 3 and 2 numbers before 7. As such, it's an equivelent of 11 - 6; 12 - 7; 13 - 8; . . . and 235 - 230. It's also an equivalent of 5 * 1 and 100 / 20.

Now, are all of those subjective aspects needed for an understanding of the objective goal of determing just exactly what is the number 5? Are all those little truths needed for the quest of TRUTH?

So, how much knowledge is sufficient? And whichi s garbage? And how do we decided?! Or, is there something to be said for the man that knows that the number 5 is also the equivalent of every varitaion possible?
