Summary

This quote suggests that science has revealed a fundamental truth about perception and reality. It implies that our senses, limited as they are, do not provide an accurate or complete understanding of the world. Science has uncovered hidden complexities, such as the microscopic atomic and subatomic particles that make up the visible matter. It invites us to reconsider our preconceived notions of reality and acknowledge that there may exist aspects beyond our perception that science can help uncover.
