"Through me the way is to the city dolent,
Through me the way is to eternal dole,
Through me the way amoung the people lost.
Justice incihted my sublime Creator;
Created in me divine Omnipotence, the highest Wisdom and the primal Love.
Before me there were no created things,
Only eterne, and I eternal last.
All hope abandon, ye who enter in."
Dante's Inferno
At the Gates of Hell

I've been contemplating the significance of this quote in comparison to the lecture but am truely at a dead end.
(And for clarification I think what I was trying to get at through my insistant babbling is that:
Yes, it is true that science can't prove its meaningfulness however, consider, that science can neither prove its meaninglessness.
So that attempting to locate this meaning is rather like a wild goose chase; why waste your time? The meaning in this instance should be irrelevant to the task. Science for Sciences sake?)
