About This Quote

While Einstein may have been referring to his vision of relativity, he might as well have been speaking about science. Reality is not an illusion. It is the only thing that exists. The dream of science, however, is that it can tell us what reality is like, and give us a way to understand it better than anything else.

But this is an illusion. Though we cannot get beyond the limits of our understanding, we can always learn more about reality by exploring it with scientific tools and methods.
