That which is "unthinkable and unspeakable" (to mention the quote of 
the Mandukya Upanishad in the first fundamental proposition in the 
Proem of the SD) cannot be "proven as a scientific fact" as long as 
Aristotelian categories and logic dominate science's view of itself 
and of its method of understanding and exploring reality.

Perhaps only a mind which is completely free from category-induced 
thinking can glimpse that Reality. Such a mind probably would have 
no desire to prove anything for 'proofs' exist only at the level of 
discourse and categorisation.
