Summary

This quote suggests that scientific imagination is always constrained by what is considered possible or likely within the realm of scientific knowledge and understanding. Scientists rely on evidence, data, and logical reasoning to explore new ideas and possibilities, but they are cautious not to go beyond the boundaries of what is deemed plausible based on existing knowledge. While scientists are open to creativity and thinking outside the box, they strive to stay within the realm of what can be supported by scientific evidence and principles. This ensures that their ideas are grounded in reality and have a higher chance of being validated or accepted by the scientific community.
