The strange paradox of science is that it does not explain reality, it explains our fantasy. It is a beautiful thing.

About This Quote

On the one hand, scientific knowledge is a great tool for explaining what we observe. But, on the other hand, it is a tool that can create a fantasy that is not based on reality. If we take a look at the progress of science, we can see that it does not explain what is really happening in nature. Science often explains our fantasy instead of reality.
