Völgy a világ végén
Eliezer Yudkowsky (1979)
In every generation it is the same plea: "No, this time it really *is* too mysterious for science."
The children grow up in a world where stars and chemistry and life have always been mundane and previous generations were just being silly mystics. And when they encounter something that's *really* inexplicable, like consciousness, why, such a mystery has never happened before, it is wholly unlike such non-mysterious things as stars and life forms. Surely if there were a mundane explanation we would have found it already. As if stars and life forms had not been great mysteries for millennia on end, until one day someone solved them, and then they were not mysteries any more.
