The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fundamental goal of science, which is to explain and understand the world by employing a logical approach. It asserts that the ultimate objective of scientific inquiry is to systematically explain a vast array of observed facts by building upon the fewest possible assumptions or basic principles. By doing so, science strives for elegance and efficiency in its explanations, aiming to formulate theories and models that encompass a wide range of empirical evidence through logical deduction. This pursuit of simplicity and comprehensiveness lies at the core of scientific progress and understanding.
