Abstract The practice of literary Translation can provide valuable insights into scientific inquiry and humanistic interpretation as complementary aspects of the ongoing human quest for wisdom. The paper explores this complementarity, related specifically to Cosmology, in the thought of four transformative figures – Heraclitus of Ephesus, Titus Lucretius Caro, Sir Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein – all of whom sought to identify and describe the nature of the “supreme intelligence” that created and maintains the comprehensible order of the universe.
