In the twentieth century nothing can better cure the anthropocentrism that is the author of all our ills than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or the infinitely small).

About This Quote

The truth of the matter is that our world is finite. Not only is it finite, but everything in this world is made up of extremely small parts. Each molecule, atom, and element that make up our world are so small that we cannot see them with the naked eye. Their size also makes them incredibly hard to measure or understand.

We can only see the world by measuring it. We can never truly know what our world is like because we are looking at it through a limited perspective. Therefore, there is no better cure for anthropocentrism than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or even the infinitely small).
