Quote by Edward Abbey

The more we learn of outer space and inner space, of quasars and quarks, of Big Bangs and Little Blips, the more remote, abstract and intellectually inconsequential it all becomes.

Summary

This quote highlights a common perspective on scientific knowledge and exploration. It suggests that as we deepen our understanding of the vastness of space and the complexities of subatomic particles, these subjects can start to feel distant and detached from our daily lives. The immense scale and abstract nature of these concepts may diminish their practical relevance or impact on our immediate experiences. The quote implies that as scientific knowledge ventures into the realms of the unimaginable, it can challenge our ability to comprehend and appreciate its significance in our everyday existence.
