These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know	comment	No, this Description of These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know Here should not be! Do not read this page. Just click "back", or close this page right now. Your sanity, nay the fate of all mankind, will be in danger. You didn't listen. Damn you. Don't you know this knowledge is kept secret for a reason? Your feeble, mortal minds cannot comprehend the vast complexity of what you are seeking to learn. Pray that complete madness is the worst consequence of your transgression. Just don't blame us. You Have Been Warned. It's a pretty safe guess, though don't confirm it, that these things resemble Mind Screw and are a Mind Rape. Learning this can cause you to Go Mad from the Revelation, and is a standard trope of a Cosmic Horror Story. A major reason on why Curiosity Is a Crapshoot. If you can even read and/or understand these final words, pity the Mad Scientist who seeks out this knowledge, for his experiments will Go Horribly Right. This may be used as an Armor-Piercing Response. And no, Brain Bleach won't be helpful in this case. You still wish to go further? The Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge will not keep you at bay? You don't believe that we honestly do this for your own safety? Sigh. Well, don't say we didn't warn you. Here are the tropes that this Super-Trope unleashes upon you! Alien Geometries — Forms Man Was Not Meant to Comprehend. Artifact of Doom — Things Man Was Not Meant to Use. Black Speech — Speech Man Was Not Meant to Hear. Brown Note — Stimuli Man Was Not Meant to Experience. Eldritch Abomination — Beings Man Was Not Meant to Meet. Eldritch Location — Places Man Was Not Meant to Visit. Poke in the Third Eye — Beings Man Was Not Meant to Scry. Tome of Eldritch Lore — Books Man Was Not Meant to Read. Too Strange to Show — Anything Man Was Not Meant to Depict. You Cannot Grasp the True Form — Things Man Was Not Meant to Comprehend Even After He Was Foolish Enough to Look at Them. See? There's no going back now. You'll have to live with it. (Or not...) Oh, and if you're really unlucky, screwing around with this might have irreversibly damaged the structure of reality. Have fun. If your mind has become a horrifying alien monstrosity by this point, avoid interacting with humans, they're infectious. And if it hasn't... well you're really something special aren't you? Even if we never do find out what these things are, that still may not help us, since Nothing Is Scarier. Not to be confused with You Do NOT Want To Know, the things which you wouldnâ€™t enjoy knowing but wonâ€™t destroy you from the revelation. Nor with Women's Mysteries, the things men were not meant to know. Although perhaps that may suggest a clever loophole for No Man of Woman Born.

In order to purge the Forbidden Knowledge, the Scarlet King sacrificed himself, along with Rukkhadevata depowering herself, in order to purge Forbidden Knowledge from Irminsul in order to stop the spread of the withering and Eleazor. However, during the Cataclysm 500 years prior, another contamination of Forbidden Knowledge occurred, and Rukkhadevata had to create a new God of Wisdom, Nahida/Kusanali, and needed her to remove her from Irminsul due to the fact that she was also contaminated with Forbidden Knowledge. When asked what Forbidden Knowledge is, Nahida explains that its a "truth" from the bottom of the Abyss that no-one, not even gods can comprehend.

Even just a head can induce Brown Note effects in humans who spend too much time around it and cause Sanity Slippage, and humans experimenting on Ghidorah's tissue ends up creating the Many whilst attempts to make fertility treatment derived from Ghidorah's tissue results in Fetus Terrible.

Nobody who has pursued this knowledge has stayed in the public eye and lived. When you learn it, the information is horrifying but it doesn't damage your mind. But it does put a tracking beacon in your brain, at which point the guardian of the secret creates a sentient mini-sun made of the Correspondence itself that proceeds to hunt you down and make itself the thing your mind (and flammable body) cannot handle. There's only two ways to escape your fate: flee to the Neath, or throw your best friend to the wolves and wage one last war against the god of death itself.

He tries because he himself is a wonderful, though nonprofessional, comedian. Eventually it turns out the sense of humor was an alien experiment that would be halted as soon as anyone figured out that it was so, meaning he destroyed everyone's sense of humor. Plus, the aliens will now replace humor with something else. Who knows what?

The Watcher snatched him from his home and brought him to the cosmic tribunal, stating that he was the "chronicler" of the Fantastic Four's adventures and thus needed to be there to witness as Reed Richards was brought to trial for the destruction of the Skrull throneworld; he was accused of genocide because he saved the life of Galactus some time before. Various cosmic beings, including Galactus himself and Odin, arrived to testify on Reed's behalf. In the end, Eternity showed everyone assembled the True Purpose of Galactus. The last page had the Watcher warning Byrne that as he wrote this story, many of the details would escape his memory, as the human mind wasn't meant to hold such knowledge.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_1b9ff2f3	comment	In π, the protagonist Max is on the verge of unlocking the pattern of the universe using a 216-digit number. A group of Orthodox Jews believes that the number is the true name of God, while a stock broker wants it to predict the stock market. However, the number overwhelms anyone or anything that tries to compute it. Max, who already stared too long at the sun and did permanent damage to his brain, begins to completely break down as he studies the number. His computer breaks down and starts creating organic goo. Ultimately Max abandons his quest and chooses to simply live life in ignorance, possibly drilling out his mathematical genius to escape the number's curse.

It turns out you don't want to do that, because a) you won't like it, and b) something will look back at you. Besides, the special electricity he uses to do this also isn't good for you at all because it's connected to that other side.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_32c541e6	comment	In Fullmetal Alchemist, performing a forbidden human transmutation will take you to the Gate, where, along with being maimed in some way, you get to look inside and see 'Truth', which, as Izumi stated, looked like hell to her. Almost all alchemists die doing so. It is implied by Izumi that just surviving it is a very serious feat. Alphonse would have died if his brother had not brought him back. By the end of the story, it is revealed that Father was unable to find enough living alchemists who have survived that, as required for his Evil Plan to work. Also, learning that the Philosopher's Stone is created by sacrificing mass numbers of human lives has driven many who have sought its power insane. In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Scar's brother was one of the people thusly afflicted.

Eostia would repeat the history of Yharnam should Shamuhaza's handiwork is left unchecked, and Kyril is dead set on averting another Beast Plague or any kind of Apocalypse How that would ensue. Speaking of Shamuhaza and Kyril, both have seen it: the former ended up being transformed into an arthropod without much to do; the latter ended up being put through the ringer, being Conditioned to Accept Horror, and ascending to become an Eldritch Abomination with the mind battered, but functional.

He (barely) copes by being an alcoholic hedonistic sociopath. Morty took his first steps along this path by blocking out these thoughts with the noise of mindless television and advises his sister to do the same. In the episode "The Jerrick Trap", Rick does a "Freaky Friday" Flip with his son-in-law Jerry. However, trying to work with everything he knew using a normal human brain was simply too much, and he immediately has a nervous breakdown and tries to kill himself.

He glimpses the Skinwalker...and comes back to himself about three minutes later, having almost crashed his car, gibbering uncontrollably. He gets himself under control, tries to remember what he saw...and comes back to himself five minutes later, incoherent and barely in control of himself. He realizes that driving is a bad idea, gets out of his car and starts walking to get help when his thoughts just barely brush against the idea of what he saw... and he comes back to himself, curled into a fetal position on the sidewalk, crying and in physical pain. In a more traditional example, the Seven Laws of Magic define the types of addictive Black Magic that can corrupt a spellcaster into a downward cycle of psychosis. There's one against killing people with magic, one against raising the dead, and one against Mind Control, for example. The Seventh Law puts even trying to learn about Outsiders on par with all of the above. The entire concept of the Oblivion War is to erase humanity's knowledge of certain particularly awful beings. The reason is, without mortals knowing they exist, their access to humanity is cut off.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: In the database, "[REDACTED]" merely means that the reader of the document doesn't have a sufficient security clearance to read what was blocked out. However, the term "[DATA EXPUNGED]" means that the information has been entirely removed from the Foundation's database except from the O5 Council's master copies and is generally unpleasing information. The trope is played straight if it appears in the description of the SCP or one of the events related to it. SCP-579 is notable for having nearly its entire file expunged. Some SCPs are classified as "infohazards", which (Depending on the Writer) are basically this tropenote the other writers use it to mean "paranormal entity whose effects are triggered by referencing and/or describing it". They will affect anyone who knows too much about them: SCP-1128 will attack humans who know what it looks like. A different SCP will affect anyone who knows what name/term/phrase people use to refer to it. This presents a problem, since the database is setup so that for database entry "SCP-#", "SCP-#" is the name of the thing described. They get around this by making the database entry be about the building where the SCP is kept, and putting all the information about the actual SCP in a separate file. But even that isn't quite enough, since if the file referred to the SCP as "that thing", "â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ", or "[REDACTED]", that would be how people refer to it, so just knowing that everyone called it "that thing" would cause a reader to be affected. Since the SCP only starts affecting a person after a month, the solution is to remove all memories about the SCP before the month is up. One SCP follows the concept more literally is a vending machine capable of producing any drink put into it, ranging from coffee to a "cup of Joe". One drink in particular, described as "the perfect drink", causes one to commit suicide when consumed, as the drink is so perfect that anything the drinker will experience after it will seem disappointing in comparison. SCP-2718. It's death, or more specifically, the knowledge of what happens to you after you die. One of the senior O5 council members died years ago of a stroke during a holiday in the Galapagos islands and they used some unknown way of remaking him at the quantum level to figure out what lies beyond. There is no heaven or afterlife. You just lie there, aware of your body breaking down and rotting, a pain that transcends mortal understanding and continues and only intensifies even after the nerves are gone. This is the fate that awaits everyone. It's heavily implied that simply knowing this makes it your afterlife too. Thanks for reading! SCP-5000 is an Apocalyptic Log detailing the Foundation discovering something that led them to believe that ending the human race was the best course of action, prompting the writer to go on a Reset-Button Suicide Mission. It's never explicitly stated what exactly they found, but their instructions for dealing with it led to waves of suicides among the senior staff, and left the survivors with â€œsomething [â€¦] missing from them. Some spark.â€� and unanimously dedicated to exterminating humanity. It's revealed that through their efforts to map out the collective human psyche, the Foundation wound up uncovering something seriously wrong with humanity - the basic aspects of sapience such as pain and empathy were the result of a mind-controlling entity invading the human subconscious eons ago, and in their eyes, wiping out humanity would have been more ethical than letting it go through with whatever it had planned.

You're fine reading it, unless you happen to know that it is really the First Scroll of the Kellith, who is prophesied to wipe mankind off the face of the earth and re-populate the planet with the seed of the Great Old Ones. It also helps not to know that Michael Waite will become the Kellith. Pretty much anything to do with the GOO. At least one person has marveled at the fact that Hekate's brain hasn't melted out of her head yet. This appears to have been the downfall of the Isokist, who accidentally opened the first gateway to the Great Old Ones' home dimension and paid the ultimate price for their curiosity. Played for Laughs with Josie (nee Josh) Gillman: A Family Curse dooms most men of the Gillman line to succumb to Things Man Was Not Meant To Know.

The Igors of Discworld's Thief of Time, strictly speaking don't believe that there are TMWNMTK, but even they find some obvious stuff that they'd rather not know, such as how it feels to have every single particle of your body sucked through a small hole. In general, Terry Pratchett likes to have fun with this trope. For example, The Unseen University library has books that no man can read without dying or going mad, but the Librarian is an orangutan, so he's perfectly safe. Although even he reads the most potent of these, the Necrotelicomnicon, from behind a smoked-glass visor, just to be on the safe side.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_5e150650	comment	In Exalted a demon exists called Orabilis; his title is The End of All Wisdom. He builds libraries, and it is his will that demons and men read in them and grow wise...but not too wise. Sometimes people take two and two, though, and learn a thing mean only for the Yozis; at that point, he's free to pursue you out of Hell, drag you back, and cast you into the sky where you spend a thousand years as a dying star. Deconstructed, in that the Things Man Was Not Meant to Know were pretty arbitrarily decided by the Abusive Precursors, and they're actually scared of their secrets getting out. They're only Not Meant To Know because the Yozis Don't Want You To Know Them.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_5e88d233	comment	Chrysalis (RinoZ): The cults of the Ancients have only been able to gather fragmentary information about the monsters they worship, from dreams granted to the faithful — many of whom suffered serious side effects from those brief glimpses. From those who view Zothoth and Go Mad from the Revelation, to having one's eyes burned out by seeing Carriflare, to one poor soul who glimpsed the realm of Tarriflyx the Hunger and chewed off his own arm in his sleep. Piecing together the snippets has been a work of centuries.

The whole point of having Aida read the Darkhold was to avert this trope as it was assumed as an android she could read the book and not be negatively affected. It didn't work — it gave Aida sapience beyond her programming which gave her a desire to be human and resent her artificial status.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_70814599	comment	In Stargate SG-1 the Ancients' Repository of Knowledge devices (Jack referred to them as Ancient head suckers because of the way they latch onto the user's head) can download the entire knowledge bank of the Ancients into the mind of the user. However, said information is too vast for the human mind to comprehend at our current evolutionary level. Therefore anyone exposed to the knowledge bank will have their minds completely taken over by it, causing them to degrade and eventually shut down (die). Jack had his head sucked twice, and while he is able to build many advanced technologies, he is eventually unable to speak or comprehend anything other than the Ancient language and he nearly dies from the strain on his brain — the second time he has to go into stasis to escape death. And only the fact that O'Neill bears the Ancient gene allows him to last as long as he did both times — it's implied by the Asgards that humans without the gene would degrade much faster.

Whatever it was, the moral guilt from enacting it drove the citizens so mad that they began taking Joy to forget. By the time the game starts, the entire town is out of their minds on Joy, and even the Wellies who have been taking it their whole lives will become Downers if they learn what the Very Bad Thing was. For those who want to know (SPOILERS!)When Germany conquered England, they offered them an ultimatum: give up every child under the age of 13 or have their cities obliterated by a special Tiger Tank Division. With great regret, the English let the Germans round up the children and shipped them off to save their country. Years later, the English Government discovered that the "Tiger Tank Division" were all made of paper-mache, meaning there was no actual threat and the English gave up their children for no reason (The fates of the children are left Ambiguous)

However, not only is the human mind not meant to comprehend actually seeing the concept of death, the fact that the lines are literally everywhere constantly reminds the user of the fragility of everything that exists. The comprehension is enough that Shiki Ryougi, who was already borderline psychopathic before she got the eyes, immediately tried clawing out her eyes when she realized just what her eyes were seeing. Meanwhile, Shiki Tohno doesn't freak out nearly as badly initially, but continual use throughout the story degrades his health and strains his brain as his eyes get more powerful and start showing him the death of things he shouldn't normally be able to comprehend (like buildings and concepts).

It's implied Celestia, Luna, Discord, and the other gods are all aware of a lot of these, being deities who helped make the universe. The Outer Concepts literally are this. Their entire purpose for existing is to give mortals a healthy fear of the unknown so they don't accidentally tamper beyond their death for the good of themselves and existence. The heroes have some of these shared with them, either of their own request of necessity, throughout the series. They're only shared with them because Celestia and Luna know they've grown enough they can handle it. The biggest of these is likely the fate of the Lost Age.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The eponymous Elder Scrolls themselves are this, combined with being Tomes of Prophecy and Fate. Referred to as "Fragments of Creation," the scrolls are of unknown origin and number which simultaneously record past, present, and future events irrefutably; what did happen, what could have happened, what might yet happen. Even the falsehoods in them are true. (Especially the falsehoods, as is pointed out several times in the series.) To the untrained eye, the scrolls will yield an odd chart that looks like it has constellations on it with odd glyphs printed over or under it. A knowledgeable reader will be able to interpret the scrolls to a degree, but incompletely, and will be irrevocably struck blind. A well-trained reader, such as a member of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth, will glean much more from the scroll and will even recover their eyesight... for a finite number of times before their sight is permanently lost. In all of these cases, reading the scrolls tends to lead to madness for the user. Even those who merely study the scrolls, never actually using or even handling them, are driven to complete madness with alarming regularity. The Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora has this trope within his sphere. Appropriately, he is also the only Daedric Prince to actually take the form of an Eldritch Abomination, being an endless mass of tentacles and eyes. If there exists some bit of information in all of existence which he does not know, he will mercilessly acquire it by whatever means necessary. One in-game book describes a mage who tried to explore the realms of Oblivion. When he entered Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha, an endless library, he became enamored with the knowledge and never left. His voice still whispers to the writer, each time more and more alien. Further, according to Mora himself, he is/arose from knowledge that cannot exist (detritus concepts ejected from reality), rendering him not only the keeper of things man was not meant to know, but also making him something man cannot know. The Hist are a race of ancient, sentient, and possibly Omniscient trees native to the Black Marsh where they are worshiped by the Argonians. They are said to possess "unfathomable" knowledge from the Dawn Era, the earliest days of creation before linear time existed as a concept. In Morrowind, reclusive Tribunal deity Sotha Sil devotes much of his time to studying the "hidden world," they very underpinnings of reality that mortal minds can barely conceive of, much less alter. He also gives this as his reason for refusing to allow Divayth Fyr to study the Tools of Kagrenac in Sotha Sil's Last Words... Oblivion: "I have seen the Gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see." Skyrim goes in depth about how the Dwemer used to build giant magical computers powered by Elder Scrolls and starlight. They catalogued what they could interpret from the Elder Scrolls into cube-shaped storage devices and simply touching one of those devices can drive a person to insanity. The Dwemer themselves, in the series Backstory, attempted to use this information to Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence. Whatever happened, success or failure, caused their entire race to disappear from the face of Nirn in an instant. The entire Elder Scrolls Universe is considered a Thing That Should Not Be by many, with the most accepted theory being that Nirn, the "planet" of the games' setting, exists within the dream of one of The Old Gods. Being able to fully comprehend this can allow one to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence and become a Physical God themselves, but the slightest mistake will result in Cessation of Existence instead (which is believed to be the reason behind the aforementioned disappearance of the Dwemer). The universe frequently experiences stability issues, often resulting in absolute breakages of the fabric of reality, known as "Dragon Breaks" where reality steps outside for a cigarette break. The largest Dragon Break in history is known as the Middle Dawn, a period of...weirdness...so weird that even the Elder Scrolls, which themselves are Things That Should Not Be, either adamantly refuse to show what happened, or are absolutely stumped themselves. And the kicker is that this was set off by an ill-timed ritual and lasted for a total of 1008 years.

Researching this knowledge will give you "Warp", which sticks to you for the rest of the game. (And considering what game it's a mod for, that could be a while.) Having warp gives you effects of varying severity depending on how much you have, ranging from harmless paranoia-inducing messages ("Something is following you...") to being hunted by Eldritch Abominations.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_a3fcd166	comment	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy: According to the Guide, there's a theory that if any one person ends up knowing both the Ultimate Answer and the Ultimate Question, the universe will end and be replaced by something even more bizarre and incomprehensible. There are other theories that state that this has already happened several times. (There is also another theory that the two previous theories were made up to sell more copies of the Guide... but it doesn't mean they're wrong.) The Restaurant at the End of the Universe introduces the Total Perspective Vortex, the most horrifying torture device in the known Universe, which works by plowing through the victim's cognitive filters and allowing them to see, in total clarity, the entire Universe and their relative place in it. No soul has been known to survive it — except Zaphod, who unwittingly activated a parallel universe designed especially for him, and which tricked the Vortex into showing Zaphod as the single most important entity in the Universe (which didn't tell him anything he didn't already know). Life, The Universe, and Everything features a poor guy who was a trial witness who was accidentally overdosed on Truth Serum — so when they told him to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," he told all of it. And drove pretty much everyone in the courtroom mad in the process, but oddly didn't seem bothered by it himself. By the time Arthur and company show up, he's already finished, commenting that there's not as much of it as people think. (And apparently most of the good bits are about frogs.) He even references the above theory about the Ultimate Answer and Ultimate Question canceling each other out.

But if he wasn't ever real, then how can he exist as a Heroic Spirit? At the end of the story, Holmes says that the true answer would involve explaining cosmological concepts like the Theoretical Pruning Phenomenon and the underpinnings of the Human Order, and he decides in his capacity as a Ruler-class Servant that the details of these things are knowledge no living human should ever be burdened with knowing.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_a5549ed0	comment	A few instances in The Bible: In the Book of Genesis, God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the Tree Of Knowledge or they will die. Satan deceives them into eating of the tree anyway, telling them that it would make them like God, to know both good and evil. It does, but it still introduces death and it also corrupts mankind from that point on into thinking that they could be gods in and of themselves. In the book of Acts, Jesus' disciples ask Him before His ascension into heaven if then was the time He would be restoring the kingdom to Israel, and Jesus told them it is not for them to know the dates or seasons which God the Father had set in His own authority. In the second letter to the Corinthians, Paul the apostle writes that he "knew a man" (whether he was referring to himself or somebody else, nobody knows) who was caught up to Paradise and heard things that it was not lawful for a man to utter. In the Book of Revelation, when the "seven thunders" spoke, John the Apostle was about to write down what they have spoken when a voice tells him, "Seal up the things that have been spoken, and do not write them".

It turns out that the ghosts were caused by the titular monster, which killed everyone and fed on their souls for eternity, and the way to defeat it requires piecing together an incantation scattered by George in case he failed.

Palovak never listened to the recording herself, but gave it to Werner Herzog to listen to. Werner did so, for a somber few minutes, before telling Palovak to turn it off. He then adds that she should never, ever listen to the recording, and it's best to destroy it as soon as possible. To put into perspective, this is Werner Herzog we are talking about, the man who jumped onto a cactus patch, ate his shoes, and other insanities. And he's freaked out. The recording apparently still exists, unreleased to the public, and considering the documentary nature of the movie, this may also count as a Real Life example.

Anyone who goes through the process awake is driven completely insane and often dies. The man they tested it on managed to croak out "it's eternity in there" before dying.

However, not only is the human mind not meant to comprehend actually seeing the concept of death, the fact that the lines are literally everywhere constantly reminds the user of the fragility of everything that exists. The comprehension is enough that Shiki Ryougi, who was already borderline psychopathic before she got the eyes, immediately tried clawing out her eyes when she realized just what her eyes were seeing. Meanwhile, Shiki Tohno doesn't freak out nearly as badly initially, but continual use throughout the story degrades his health and strains his brain as his eyes get more powerful and start showing him the death of things he shouldn't normally be able to comprehend (like buildings and concepts). In Fate/Grand Order, Sherlock Holmes's special side story brings up the question: if Holmes is a Servant, does that mean he was a real person, despite the complete lack of physical evidence that he was anything other than a character made up by Arthur Conan Doyle? But if he wasn't ever real, then how can he exist as a Heroic Spirit? At the end of the story, Holmes says that the true answer would involve explaining cosmological concepts like the Theoretical Pruning Phenomenon and the underpinnings of the Human Order, and he decides in his capacity as a Ruler-class Servant that the details of these things are knowledge no living human should ever be burdened with knowing.

This was caused by him being revived from the dead — due to being close to death, he retained part of his dead state in the form of his eyesight. As a downside, however, he needs his magical glasses (made by the Aozaki sisters) to suppress his magical vision, as his power deteriorates his mind faster than it deteriorates his body. In one of the endings, he starts using a blindfold once it grows too powerful to be suppressed by his glasses.

It is repeatedly stated by those in the know that ignorance is the best defense against this thing, as it cannot affect anyone who doesn't know about it. A race of Eldritch Abomination aliens — the "fingers" of something else's "hand" — mysteriously appeared nearby around the same time. But they don't like it if you ask too much about what happened.

They are often at odds with the Mysterium, who believe man is supposed to know everything, and both orders are at odds with the Free Council, who believe man should know everything right now. There's a Legacy, the Logophages, devoted entirely to this idea — it's their job to not only track down the things man must not know, but to make sure they remain unknown, even to themselves. Needless to say, they're masters of memory alteration and occasionally give their own brain a good scrubbing just in case. As for specific things not to know, well... there's the Nemesis Continuum, a set of Abyssal mathematical proofs. Once you grasp one, it's easier to know the others, and as you learn them, the physical laws they represent begin to overwrite the real world. By the time you realize that the color green has become searing-hot or that gravity now functions the way Aristotle described it as opposed to the way it's supposed to, it may be too late to correct that... The most active greater Abyssal power, the Prince of Ten Thousand Leaves, is a self-aware Alternate History that inserts snippets of itself into texts and becomes more real where those texts are brought together. A cult in Massachusetts has made a collection into a Tome of Eldritch Lore, which has started to warp their town into an Eldritch Location and mutate the townsfolk who memorize too much. If the entire Prince is assembled, it Cosmic Retcons itself into having always been real.

The Watcher snatched him from his home and brought him to the cosmic tribunal, stating that he was the "chronicler" of the Fantastic Four's adventures and thus needed to be there to witness as Reed Richards was brought to trial for the destruction of the Skrull throneworld; he was accused of genocide because he saved the life of Galactus some time before. Various cosmic beings, including Galactus himself and Odin, arrived to testify on Reed's behalf. In the end, Eternity showed everyone assembled the True Purpose of Galactus. The last page had the Watcher warning Byrne that as he wrote this story, many of the details would escape his memory, as the human mind wasn't meant to hold such knowledge. This happened to the Human Torch in the original Lee/Kirby three-parter "The Coming of Galactus". During the climax, Uatu The Watcher guides him to Galactus vessel, which exists in more than one level of reality, to retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier, the only weapon that can threaten Galactus. We're not shown exactly what the Torch experiences, but it's implied it is so overwhelming it almost renders him catatonic and his mind blocks most of it out.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_f1ae884f	comment	Fallen London has a particularly horrific variation in the "Seeking the Name" quest. Rather than the knowledge itself harming you, it's the process of seeking it, trying to find it, getting to the next scrap in a gigantic, endless trail of misery that destroys you and everything you have. The various things you have to do in order to advance will have you destroying your moral and social standing, your sanity, your body, your soul, among others, in possibly the most epic example of Press X to Die in videogames. The Correspondence is this to a T. Not only is one glyph from it described as "punctuation. Protection. A legal token. An illegal weapon. A punchline. It's an odd language." But once your character has learned enough of it the glyph's will occasionally force themselves to the front of your characters mind and make them contemplate what they mean in full. Think that doesn't sound so bad? Several of the glyph's will spontaneously set the area around them (read: you) on fire. These are some of the tamer ones. It gets better. The Correspondence's nasty effects are caused by writing them improperly, IE bad grammar. When used correctly it is a reality warping LANGUAGE. This is because it is the language of the Judgements, AKA the stars. They decide what is and what is not in their domains. In the Neath there is no Judgement keeping things normal. Which is why so many crazy things exist down there, why so many people are crazy and why death is on extended leave. And if you thought the Correspondence was bad, it has an opposite language called the Discordance. Where the Correspondence is fire, the Discordance is ice. Writing it drops the temperature dramatically and knowing it can literally freeze your thoughts. It's really not helped by the fact that it doesn't exist due to being expunged from reality, making it something man literally should not be able to know. Zig-zagged in Sunless Sea. The Name is still a foolish, haunted journey to the center of madness. The Name is still something humanity was never intended to know. However, this is a different Name than the above, and your ex-Dawn-Machine navigator knows what this particular Name is really good for - if you bring it to one of the very few not-totally-evil gods in the universe, they will reward you with Exaltation. The key here is that it's treated as a glorious journey undertaken for its own sake, even though the player must willingly and literally abandon everything that makes them human. Double Subverted in Sunless Skies with "The Courtsey", a cosmic secret. Nobody who has pursued this knowledge has stayed in the public eye and lived. When you learn it, the information is horrifying but it doesn't damage your mind. But it does put a tracking beacon in your brain, at which point the guardian of the secret creates a sentient mini-sun made of the Correspondence itself that proceeds to hunt you down and make itself the thing your mind (and flammable body) cannot handle. There's only two ways to escape your fate: flee to the Neath, or throw your best friend to the wolves and wage one last war against the god of death itself.

One of the failed tea recipes leads to a startled Luke informing us that there is smoke rising from the cup, to which Layton responds, 'This is clearly a tea that should not have been.'

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: A Dilgar war criminal buys her way out of prosecution by offering the formula for an immortality serum. The catch is that the formula's ingredients must be fatally extracted from sentient beings, making it a surefire trigger for mass murder and a thing Sentient Beings Were Not Meant to Know. The Vorlons, fortunately, agreed. Apparently nearly every sentient race has developed a dish almost identical to Swedish meatballs. When G'Kar comments on this, his response is. Another one from G'Kar: "There are things in the universe billions of years older than either of our races. They're vast, timeless, and if they're aware of us at all, it is as little more than ants, and we have as much chance of communicating with them as an ant has with us. We know, we've tried, and we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped on. [...] they are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the universe, that we have not yet explained everything."

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_f8acc9ea	comment	Control: The FBC is very well aware that there is something seriously screwy going on with Ahti, the Finnish janitor but no-one is quite sure what. An enterprising researcher tried pointing a video camera at the entity for a bit to see what it did. The resulting recording mesmerized everyone who watched it to the point that they stopped doing anything except watch it. The recording also looped seamlessly without rewinding the tape, played even when the VCR and TV it was connected to didn't have power, and somehow compelled people who came too close to it to look at it. The FBC hid the tape away and has since declined to kick that particular hornet's nest again, especially since the entity in question is seems benevolent and supportive of the FBC and is implied but never outright stated to be the Finnish pre-Christian sea god of the same name.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_fab472d2	comment	In Dark Souls, the final part of Big Hat Logan's storyline if you rescue him and learn all of his sorceries has him going insane while trying to decipher and duplicate the spells of Seath the Scaleless, the dragon progenitor of sorcery. Of course, given that this very study was what drove Seath the Scaleless mad, it was more or less a foregone conclusion. The Downloadable Content adds the populace of Oolacile, who, according to an merchant, got conned by a "toothy serpent" into awakening Manus, Father of the Abyss, and they got turned into mindless monsters for their troubles.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_ff0bf83f	comment	An episode of Justice League Unlimited that featured time travel, "Time Warped" posited that no one must know how the universe was created. If you want to know, it's represented as a ball of light emanating from an enormous hand within a dark void, and since all those other gods exist... In the comics, a Guardian of the Universe (specifically Krona) found out (with severe and unpleasant consequences) and so the rest of the Guardians wanted/needed to make sure it never happened again. (Details vary depending on when the specific telling of the story was written.)

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Played with in the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Metamorphosis. Watching Geordi's frustration at being unable to determine how an alien artifact works, Data suggests that they were not meant to know. After Geordi both rejects the idea and expresses disgust at Data of all people proposing a mystical explanation for something, Data explains that he means the artifact's creators may have designed it so that its inner workings could not be analyzed.
