About This Quote
Tom Stoppard wrote: “Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else.” For those who feel lost in the world of science, it can be difficult to make sense of everything they read and hear. Scientists write about things like quantum physics and atomic bonding as if they are as certain as such things as gravity or chemistry. If we want to know what we really know about the world, we need to look outside of the scientific community and explore art and philosophy.
