The ant will never understand the inner workings of that microchip.
If I take a small metal shaving from a random car, and hand it to you, it would be impossible for you to be able to describe what that car looks like in its finished glory.
Like a jigsaw, you cannot picture the finished 1000 piece puzzle, if all you had was just a single piece.
The sum total of all human knowledge, is miniscule compared to all the knowledge in the universe.
Nothing more than a mere grain of sand in all the beaches and deserts combined and more.
We want to know the truth of our existence, of how we came to be, and the creator.
Yet we don't even understand a single atom in its entirety... But we can use it, and make an atom bomb.
All you can ever hope to understand in this earthly life is the "self" if you are lucky enough to achieve enlightenment.
