Micromegas promised to give them a rare book of philosophy, written in minute characters, for their special use, telling all that can be known of the ultimate essence of things, and he actually gave them the volume before his departure. It was carried to Paris and laid before the Academy of Sciences; but when the old secretary came to open it, the pages were blank.
This book with blank pages may indicate that life is complex and as such, should be completed with its own set of complexity. no book will ever describe humans. Even the lenth of our days is not within our grasp, "Micromegas answered: "Were you not a philosopher, I should fear to distress you by telling you our lives are 700 times as long as yours; but you know too well that when the time comes to give back one's body to the elements, and reanimate nature under another form--the process called death--when that moment of metamorphosis comes, it is precisely the same whether we have lived an eternity or only a day".
Could it also be that the wisdom of the ages could not be given to man? Would such knowledge be a help or would mankind turn it into a destructive force, as he had so many other thngs. Micromegas was appalled a man's ability to kill one another. The fact that they apeared so insignificant to him, only made it that much more difficult to grasp. He even took out a magnifying glass to examine if these creatures had a soul. No maybe man was best left to his own devises, rather than give them a gift they could use to bring themselves to extinction.
