About This Quote
I use this quote to explain that science is so much more than just intelligence. The intelligence of humans is very limited compared to the intelligence of the universe. For example, there are billions of galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars. Each star has at least one planet that circles it, and often times their orbit is not circular.
Even the smallest objects in the universe are vastly more intelligent than us humans. That’s why I say, “Even NASA can't improve on duct tape.” The universe is so vast and complex, yet humans are still very small in comparison to it.
