Long before the Webb space telescope in the " Haunted Fifties " " The Man With The X-Ray Eyes " saw even deeper into DEEP SPACE . And what did he see ? From a WIKI review of the horror movie :
[ " Leaving Las Vegas, Xavier drives out to the desert and finds a religious tent revival. He tells the evangelist that he is beginning to see things at the edges of the universe, including an "eye that sees us all" in the center of the universe. The pastor replies that what he sees is "sin and the devil" and quotes the Biblical verse, "If thine eye offends thee... pluck it out!" Xavier chooses to blind himself rather than continuing to see anything more " ] WIKI review
And then reflect on the thoughts of famous Providence , Rhode Island horror writer H.P. Lovecraft :
[“The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ” ]
