Quote by Wilhelm Dilthey

If we conceive all the changes in the physical world as reducible to the motion of atoms, motions generated by means of the fixed nuclear forces of those atoms, the whole of the world could thus be known by means of the natural sciences.

Summary

This quote suggests that if we believe that all the changes happening in the physical world can be attributed to the movements of atoms, specifically the motions caused by the unchanging nuclear forces within these atoms, then we could potentially understand the entire world through the study of natural sciences. By implying that the behavior and transformations observed in the physical universe are ultimately governed by these fundamental atomic processes, it implies that a comprehensive knowledge of the world can be attained through scientific exploration and understanding.
