Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones;

Summary

This quote emphasizes that science is not simply a collection of facts but rather a structured framework of knowledge. Similar to how a house is not just a random pile of stones but a carefully constructed building, science requires the arrangement and organization of facts within theories and principles to form a coherent understanding of the world. Merely accumulating isolated facts does not constitute science; it's the systematic arrangement and interpretation of these facts that forms the basis of scientific inquiry.
